Since Brian Fitz from DTP started that page, I'd contact him on the DTP
newsgroup or dtp-dev at eclipse.org and he can provide further meeting info
as necessary.

There's the server connections in WTP, and the DTP/WTP connections don't
know about each other. Likewise, DSDP has connections to "remote
systems," TPTP has connections to debug/monitor targets, the platform
has connections to source control....

Ultimately it would be nice if Eclipse had one notion of "connection"
typed based on what the endpoint is. Tools could then use these
connections in interesting ways.
