2. OBJECTIVES
 Literature review on micro-software engineering;
 Progress organized in a Wiki;
 Must send invitations to all participants by email
 Make presentations to get some feedback.

3. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR
 Creation of Wiki;
 Search for relevant material;
 Understanding of the concept of micro-software
engineering;
 End-User Development
 Programming is not the primary task

4. RELEVANT POINTS
 Different kinds of EU;
 Professional programmer
 Professional EU
 Casual EU
 EUSE has to be different from regular SE;
 Most EU do not have programming background
 Special attention to HCI;
 Design and interaction

5. RELEVANT POINTS
 Costs;
 Learning
 Coding
 Debugging
 Risks;
 Waste of time
 Benefits > costs + risks

6. INTERESTING TOOLS
 Versioning support;
 More correct programs
 Less time coding
 Easier testing and debugging
 Better understanding of third party's codes.
 Fault detection
 Performed quickly, while user is coding
 Language constructs misuse is common for EU
 Tools are not prevalent in EU programming
environments

7. WHAT COMES NEXT
 Read more specific literature;
 Organize Wiki.
