Priorities
- PDE becomes BDE: more bundle, less plug-in

- Add missing Incubator projects such as Picasso to the webpage, and use Athena/Hudson to propose builds/update-sites of these projects
- More tests to improve code coverage
- Get more committers
- One mailing list (ie., just pde-dev, get rid of pde-build-dev and pde-ui-dev)?
Platforms
- Eclipse: 3.6
- Target Platforms back to 3.0 supported
- Java: J2SE 1.4 or later required
- Operating Systems: all supported by Eclipse
