[wtp-jsf-dev] Comments from Today's Status Call

[Arthur Ryman <ryman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I enjoyed talking to the team today.
I'll try to call in more often. 

As I mentioned on the call today, it's very important to use the Eclipse
facilities to conduct the development of this project. The main purpose
of the incubator phase is to get everyone familiar with what it means to
be an Eclipse project. One of the key aspects of being an Eclipse project
is to be visible. This means that all the code and communications should
be visible to the outside world. 

Code should be checked into CVS asap. Don't worry that it isn't perfect.
Just make sure that anything you check in has good intellectual property
pedigree. That mean's you have the right to contribute the code and that
the code doesn't contain any improper comments or licence terms. All code
must be EPL. 

I'm looking forward to the initial check-in on Friday. After that, our
focus should be be get the automated builds going, and the results posted
to a download page so users can start to play with the JSF tools.

I'd like to ask EVERYONE to read the Due Dillegence Guidelines [1] if you
haven't already done so. It is critical that we all adhere to these guidelines.

I'd also like to ask everyone to start using this mailing list for day-to-day
communication. I see only 5 notes since Oct. 4, including the Welcome note
from the Webmaster. I have to think you have been communicating more than
that. 

For example, there is no record of the actual voting for Gary, just a summary
note from Raghu. In the future, all committer nominations and votes should
be done on this list. 

We maintain Web pages for contributors. [2] These pages contain contact
and biographical info. Please review your page and send me updates. Thx.
