Re: [ptp-dev] 2.0 Release Planning

Dave,

Thanks for the info.

Yes, I don't think anyone else has the necessary environment for  
testing LL/PE, so it would be good if you could do it. In Eclipse,  
unless it's core functionality, it's usually the contributor who has  
the most interest in ensuring their contribution works correctly.

Feel free to edit the test plan directly, or send the changes to me  
and I can add them.

Greg
