At least for the Eclipse Project, at least in overall summary page: Some projects showing green, but I'm wondering if there's a typo or something in summary page specifically for Eclipse? others? The reason I think that, is that is shows up "green" for Eclipse in the "show all projects" page: http://eclipse.org/helios/planning/SimultaneousReleaseGrid.php?showallprojects=true I did not check any other yellows.
oops, forgot to past URL to overall summary page. http://eclipse.org/helios/planning/SimultaneousReleaseGrid.php?
The code does a roll up of all child projects (excluding the parent itself) in the "overall summary" page. Since the Eclipse Project is not releasing any child projects, it's showing up as "unknown". What is the desired behaviour for a roll-up?

I'm not sure what roll-up means, but from what I see in the portal, I am entering all the information against the parent project, so would expect the summary grid to reflect what I entered there. There is no data entered for any of the child projects. To take another angle, why is only this field yellow while all other fields are green? As far as I can tell I entered information for all fields in the same way...

It's yellow because top-level projects themselves are second-class citizens when the grid is restricted to showing top-level projects only. In this mode, what's being shown is a roll up of the subprojects that excludes the top-level itself. I need to understand the intent of this mode before I can fix it.

This top level grid is to show a a condensed version of the full, flat table at http://eclipse.org/helios/planning/SimultaneousReleaseGrid.php?showallprojects=true So, for projects like Eclipse, Webtools, etc., the two tables should show the same thing, since they have opted to track at one level to begin with. Where its tricky is for projects like Tools, Modeling, Technology, where multiple columns of http://eclipse.org/helios/planning/SimultaneousReleaseGrid.php?showallprojects=true are supposed to be collapsed to one column in http://eclipse.org/helios/planning/SimultaneousReleaseGrid.php And they are to be collapsed by, basically, showing "least" value of what it is collapsing. For example, if even one subproject in modeling is yellow for an item, then modeling TL would show yellow. Another example, if 4 subprojects of modeling showed green 4 yellow, and one red, then Top Level Modeling would show red.

It turns out that there is just some bizarreness in the script. Frankly, I'm having a heck of time debugging it (it's all done with arrays, making debugging a wonderfully painful experience). I'll take a run at just rewriting it (using a class or two) tonight.
All Helios planning pages that point to dynamic data are basically broken. I've redirected them to http://www.eclipse.org/projects/releases/release.php?release=helios
