Meeting summary
---------------
* Status Reports  (lincolnthree, 15:05:19)
  * I was finishing the archive identification  (ozizka, 15:13:33)
  * Waitning for the PR's review now  (ozizka, 15:14:05)
  * Since monday, I was looking at the metadata and how to implement the
    rule categories  (ozizka, 15:14:44)
  * (See the topic of this meeting)  (ozizka, 15:14:55)
  * I have also talked with one student working on AST query language as
    his diploma thesis, could be promising  (ozizka, 15:15:16)
  * Last week I worked on the Windup 2.1.0.Final release, and the
    2.1.0.A release for samueltauil  (lincolnthree, 15:16:40)
  * This week I've been working on planning and organization
    (lincolnthree, 15:18:10)
  * Also reviewed and merged several PRs  (lincolnthree, 15:19:30)
  * Today I have a bunch of meetings, but I'll be working on reviewing
    the PR for WINDUP-506  (lincolnthree, 15:20:07)
  * My next task will be working on design with the team for Rule
    externalization and categorization features  (lincolnthree,
    15:20:39)
  * I worked on reporting fixes last week (WINDUP-502 and WINDUP-503)
    (jsightler, 15:20:45)
  * Also, I refactored into a split module set (WINDUP-464) for the
    modules that did not have this already  (jsightler, 15:21:11)
  * Right now I am working on splitting the rule xml files into a
    separate repository  (jsightler, 15:21:29)
  * Plans for this week:  Like Lincoln, working on design (and impl)
    with the team for categorization features  (ozizka, 15:24:53)
  * had 1 day off (sickday), besides working on AST (including several
    issues like nested calls, hardcoded strings etc.)  (mbriskar,
    15:27:41)
  * + working with consultants if will be needed  (mbriskar, 15:28:39)

* Priorities  (lincolnthree, 15:36:06)
  * Priorities are in JIRA, everyone knows what they are doing (see
    status reports)  (lincolnthree, 15:37:11)

* Categories  (lincolnthree, 15:37:14)
  * Ondra suggests Java types based categories mixed with strings and
    1:1 mapping between those,  (ozizka, 15:49:36)
  * but it might not be too beneficial, so Lincoln suggests using just
    strings for now.  (ozizka, 15:50:33)
  * Typical use of tags (since source and target platform/framework have
    special elements in the suggested XML design):  (ozizka, 15:52:08)
  * Freeform text for custom use by customers  (ozizka, 15:52:26)

* Example apps - where, what, how  (lincolnthree, 15:55:14)
  * All apps we have is in the "known place". We don't have any metadata
    for them, so we could add into file-level comments if possible
    (ozizka, 15:59:35)
  * It could be a base for our future testsuit  (ozizka, 16:00:44)

* From/To split?  (lincolnthree, 16:03:08)
  * We could investigate facts about source application, store them in
    graph,  (ozizka, 16:07:22)
  * and then let the target platform ruleset add what to do about that
    facts.  (ozizka, 16:08:48)

* Sande wants examples for "how to approach rule creation"
  (lincolnthree, 16:11:02)
  * Lincoln: We can revisit this once we have a problem that will need
    such feature  (ozizka, 16:11:05)
  * (that was for the previous topic, I type slowly :)  (ozizka,
    16:11:26)
