Still on EclipseCon 2007 :
The panel was presented by Jean Bezivin, me, Cedric Brun, and Ed Merks, in this order.
Jean talked about the need for a comparison engine, with some references to the Unix world and the diff method.
I talked about the requirements we had chosen to follow.
Cedric talked about the status of the project. He is the guy who actually touchedthe code for the last 6 months.
Ed Merks welcomed our contribution and called for contributions.
We had some very interesting questions.
