No, no. Nothing new you have to do. No change to current procedures or policies. But ... there is another document for your reading pleasure.
There has always been some notion of priorities that are sometimes discussed and used in the context of the Yearly Simultaneous Release, And, it was pointed out to me these have never been written down, or discussed broadly in the community and perhaps are not well known or understood by everyone. So, we thought we would give it a try. The Planning Council has spent a bit of our past few meeting discussing what we consider the priorities, how they could be decided if or when needed and we ended up with this resulting document: http://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Priorities Things like "priorities" can of course be a complicated issue, and sometimes get tangled with even more complex issues like "importance" ... but, we thought it best to get started with something to discuss and document some of these priorities, some of which are already "in use", at times, in order to be as open and transparent as possible. Over time, if projects and others find them useful, we may spend more time formalizing them, but we thought a brief description was a good way to get started, and let it grow, over the years ahead, if it seems useful. So, (especially Project Leads) read at your leisure, and if questions or issues, please discuss with your planning council representative. Again, the intent is not to change anything that is currently being done, but to simply document what is currently done, so the community can be better aware of these issues, and this information become part of the "common knowledge" or culture at Eclipse, which, as I've said before, recently, is not at all that obvious when you are new to Eclipse.
