Launch Configurations
deployments model      
 
[Action] Harm to follow up with Brian
and report back on call)
- - - - - - - 
need for Resource/Workspace design document
       
        Brian
(alf) interested

need to compare/contrast with "logical
resources"

[Action] dw to "publish" more
detail behind this list (2 weeks from <today>)
           
  ac to express interest, concrete overlap, concrete usecases (two
weeks from then)
           
  2 or 3 items, or so, picked as "most important to solve generically
.. with help         
         
      from projects to specify, validate designs,
adopt earlier

[Issue] especially with "train"
there's risk of "no whole picture" review of menu's, activities,
etc. 

[Issue] too difficult to install (update)
features from projects (the "train" assumes whole projects installed).

[action] publish "feature"
 description/dependancies/post to mailing list

[issue: all projects should have an
"activities" (capabilities) story]
[action] projects to publish and present
or distribute by ?next phone call?

[action] Kevin to respond to 107980
(to enhance welcome screen/visibility)

[Issue] some conflicts due to life-cycle
solutions in each project (e.g. each have a unique "deploy" solution).

[action] kevin to send "logical
resource" links
[action] dw to send link to "flexible
natures" (done)

= = = = =

 which reps send to mailing list in advance

naive view of whole eclipse architecture]
