Hi I'll start working on a new homepage, based on http://www.eclipse.org/swt/widgets/. Chris, can you send me the pictures you have ? (I'll also include the incubation logo on it.)
Is the following checklist for 1.0 ok for everyone ? Did I miss something ? * Full javadoc (public/protected, no warnings) * Fix all critical/major bugs * API & code review w/ Nebula devs * API & code review w/ SWT devs * Fix identified problems during reviews * Snippets / doc We're not using the wiki right now, I think this would be the right place to put these requirements and each widget progress. I created a (nearly empty) page for Nebula : http://wiki.eclipse.org/Nebula . Regards -- Nicolas On 7/19/07, Chris Gross < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Nicolas, I have not had any code (really API) reviews with the SWT devs. I have some existing work to take care of in my widgets (primarily Grid) until I'm ready for that. I think each widget developer should feel free to set these up when it makes sense. I think Dave Orme (CompositeTable) seemed ready but he hasn't responded to any emails on this list in quite a while. If you or anyone is ready for one of these reviews lets set something up. Re process - yea I think thats a good idea but alot of it is probably more about just defining requirements for a 1.0 rather than a specific process. For ex, we need javadoc, snippets, etc.. done before we can qualify something at 1.0. Perhaps the process should be more about other committers verifying those things...? We could also schedule internal Nebula reviews where other committers review the code/API before a 1.0...? Re web site - I never did get around to that. Everyone sent me pics but the aforementioned Dave. If you or Peter want to jump on that I'll try to dig up those pics (and send you my own).

Users often expect CVS code to be 'dev/trunk' quality so they rather use zip files and get all the update problems that Peter told us. The only drawback I see with an update site is version management. As we're not releasing official versions and thus not incrementing version numbers when changes are done, we would have to use qualifiers to ensure updates are detected. If the update site is build daily, users will receive update notifications everyday... We could start real version numbering as Peter suggests or build this site weekly/monthly, ... * Next moon-of-Jupiter release : as most nebula widgets are used in some real applications, the current alpha/beta status mainly reflects the "no garantees for api changes". I believe that we could go to a 1.0 release even if some SWT API are not fully implemented yet and if some non-critical bugs exists, as long as the current API is OK and will not change. Some months ago, there were plans to have a widget code review by SWT developpers. Did any widget go through this already ? This should help a lot in order to freeze the API for v1.0 and improve code quality. Maybe we should define a process, for example : Complete javadoc (public/protected, no warnings) ->fix critical/major bugs -> api & code review -> fix detected problems -> snippets/doc -> ready for 1.0 release .. and publish each widget state in this process on the web site. This will give a better idea of each widget state and help us to keep these objectives in mind :-) * Web site : Chris, you were working on a new home page for the project. Can we help you on this ? Did you receive screenshots for all widgets ?
