Hi Martin, 

As I recall it came out of the client/server split discussions 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/ClientServer.  You've hit on a lot of the 
issues.  Underlying all this of course is an assumption that with some web 
based Eclipse UI I *will* still have a workspace on the server (v.s. say 
SQL queries to a DB).  Its a likely path of investigation.

I thought the purpose Scope section is to provide a shape to the set of 
issues *someone* might work on in the e4 project.  It was built up from 
looking through the summit work area notes.  I didn't interpret it as each 
being a work area with distinct owners. I think that's an organization 
issue internal to the project.

I'd be fine with us removing "Remote Workspaces" if we thought it was out 
of scope, irrelevant, ambiguous, creating too much overlap with an 
existing project, or just plain wrong because I misinterpreted the topic 
discussions.  If we remove it from the Scope though we're saying nobody is 
going to be caring/working on it (not even in the Flexible Resources 
work), its not our job on e4. If its just about who-does-what, then we 
should decide that separately. Certainly at present our problem isn't 
around too many groups wanting to tackle the same problem :)

Hope the clarifies. Please let me know if you have a different 
interpretation.

Regards,
Kevin

[eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] "Remote workspaces" on E4 Project    Proposal?






Hi all,
 
I just looked into the http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Project_Proposal#Scope
and found something titled "Remote workspaces".
 
Does anybody have any more details about what this might mean,
and who would be caring for it?
 
It could involve a whole lot of very different subitems, like
What about the Workspace when E4 is running as client/server app?
What about synchronous access and high latency in EFS-shared remote 
resources?
What about "linking" remote resources rather than "including" them in 
order to optimize refresh on slow remote parts of the workspace?
What about access control and monitoring change in remote workspaces?
Should a notion of "Shadowing", or caching remote resources with a local 
copy be part of the Platform?
The answer to my question above likely plays a role in planning the
Flexible Resource theme, and in case there is no clear owner I'd
be in favor of getting rid of the Theme from the Scope.
 
Thanks,
