==== About Dash Time ====
+
 
+
Dash Time is regular virtual gathering for talking about [http://www.eclipse.org/dash/ Dash] or Eclipse processes or community or technology or anything else that matters. This is in the spirit of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_%28gathering%29 salon] - a gathering of stimulating people to increase their knowledge through conversations and readings. And, in that spirit, we promise that no action items will be assigned.
+
 
+
We'll be using simultaneous conference call, irc, and wiki that are all described on the wiki page. We'll also use the wiki page as a scratchpad and a trail of conversations that we'll keep as long as they are useful.
+
 
+
==== Some Things On Our Mind ====
+
 
+
* Easy publication of Monkey DOMs
+
* The Ah-ha's on the way to expert
+
* Mashing complex data
+
* Writing Listeners as Monkey scripts (we've done it)
+
* Must have standard doms: console, alert, window
+
 
+
==== What Others Think About Scripting ====
+
 
+
Bjorn and Ward talked about scripting at EclipseCon. These are the kinds of things that folks told us scripting meant to them. EclipseMonkey is only one of these.
+
 
+
* scripting to speed your own work
+
* event record/playback (like emacs, for example)
+
* scripting to make plug-ins easier
+
* scripting gui widgets
+
 
+
 
+
Jeff Winkler joined us on dash time and has suggested a number of nice addtions to EclipseMonkey and one usecase that is important to him.
+
 
+
* writing code-assists triggered by meta-data
+
** say for writing design-by-contract preconditions
+
* comand-line environment ala python ... for exploration of api
+
** useful for construtivist style of teaching
+
* java applet irc client for eclipse-dash irc
