  Release Checklist for 0.5 Alpha 1   Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3
   
     - Cleanup/document attribute binding mechanism as an 'IAttributeBinding' interface      * peak.binding
   
     - Make all API signatures start with context component         - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface
   
     - Review binding tutorial and correct any errors relative to current APIs         - Investigate whether suggestParentComponent() should be suppressed when
            the value is computed by the binding, or if perhaps 'suggestParent'
            should be set to 'False' by default for some kinds of bindings.
   
     - Add 'fcgiapp' module sources to distribution; update README/INSTALL to credit      * peak.running.logs
       DC and OpenMarket and reference their licenses.  
   
         - Separate formatters from publishers
   
 Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 2        - Configurable EventClass
   
     * ZConfig Integration        - Loggers know their names and pass that info to event constructor
   
       - A 'config.ZConfig' module that provides "PEAK-aware" versions of ZConfig        - Events should use standard IComponentFactory constructor interface
         services (e.g. it will use 'peak.naming' to resolve URLs)  
   
       - App startup tools based on ZConfig files.      * peak.web (some of this may get bumped to alpha 4)
   
       - Sample 'AdaptiveTask' classes that perform the same functions as those in         - fix 'text' DOMlet quoting (i.e., the lack thereof)
         the MetaDaemon package, with a ZConfig schema to run them in a daemon-like  
         application.  
   
     * Fix issue w/reading XMI 1.1 files where metamodel has nested packages         - clean up DOMlet parse/build framework (e.g. add line number info)
   
     * Generate UML 1.4 and 1.5 and CWM 1.0 and 1.1, and add them to the  
       'setup.py' package lists.  
   
     * Get XMI writing in place, w/transaction support  
   
     * Generate ZConfig schemas from 'peak.model' or MOF models?  
   
     * 'peak.running' refactorings: use standard 'logging' module's log levels,  
        add 'logging' distro to 'peak.util' for 2.2 backward compatibility,  
        and possibly adjust cluster stuff to work off ZConfig primary and  
        generate clustertools file(s).  
   
     * 'peak.naming' refactorings: 'peak.model'-based syntax utilities for  
        creating address syntaxes.  
   
          - default error templates, w/useful info
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Beta 1         - Refactor skin/layer/resource machinery so that layers can be shared
            between skins (because i18n will probably want skins and that's going
            to greatly multiply memory requirements)
   
     * Updated reference docstrings for 'peak.api', 'peak.binding',         - A set of simple, basic form controls that handle value rendering only
       'peak.config', 'peak.exceptions', and 'peak.naming'.           (form metadata, validation, etc. will be handled by peak.web.forms in
            a later release)
   
     * Finish tutorial chapter 2 (?)         - try/catch DOMlet (and related error rendering interface/framework)
   
     * On-the-fly class combination (think "runtime module inheritance",  
       without the modules) for DMs.  
   
       * Misc.
   
         - Namespace re-orgs?  (e.g. peak.running.tools -> peak.tools?)
   
         - API consolidation? (some users only want core API's in peak.api)
   
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 4
   
       * Transaction/storage refactorings
   
         - transaction scopes for commands and tasks
   
         - integrate locks with transactions
   
         - transactable persistent queues
   
         - DM.find()/DM.get() queries
   
   
       * peak.web
   
          - allow use of // in DOMlets' data paths, to access resource space
   
          - DOMlets for layout/region, as defined in "A layout framework":http://www.eby-sarna.com/pipermail/transwarp/2003-August/000684.html
   
          - conditional GET support (last modified/ETag) for static resources
   
          - image resources
   
          - the return of the Specialist
   
       * Have a way to easily in-line custom component usage (e.g. automatically
         create a subclass component with specified 'Obtain' or 'Make' bindings to
         get its configuration).
   
       * Implement "contextual protocols" (c.f. "object teams") and "parameterized
         protocols" (E.g. 'ListOf(IFoo)', 'MappingOf(keys=IBar,values=IBaz)')
   
   
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Beta 1
   
       * Up-to-date reference docstrings for all packages
   
       * Finish tutorial chapter 2 (?)
   
       * Web publishing framework sufficient to deploy page-based or object-
         published apps
   
   
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)   Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)
   
     General  
   
         * Tutorial complete through chapter 4

         - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?          - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?
   
         - lock management interfaces/API  
   
         - docstrings for reference  
   
     peak.model  
   
         - clean up TW docstrings & interfaces  
   
     peak.naming      peak.naming
   
         - useful example "flat" naming context (e.g. like AppUtils.URLkeys)          - useful example "flat" naming context (e.g. like AppUtils.URLkeys)

           context or filesystem context)            context or a filesystem context)
   
         - rework smtp: to return a factory object that supports open().          - rework smtp: to return a factory object that supports open().
           Also think about whether smtp should move elsewhere. Maybe            Also think about whether smtp should move to peak.net?
           there should be peak.network or peak.internet for things like  
           smtp, ftp, etc contexts?  
   
     peak.running  
   
         - make 'cluster' parser complain about things that would cause  
           the clusterit tools to choke or barf on the file, or which would  
           produce ambiguous or unintended results.  
   
         - simple daemons comparable to those in MetaDaemon, unit tests  
   
         - docstrings for reference  
   
   
     peak.config  
   
         - "Rule"-oriented configuration files (section specifies component  
           rather than property name prefix), so that daemons and other simple  
           apps can be fully configured and run via a config file.  
   
     peak.util  
   
         - docstrings for reference  
   
         - more unit tests?  
   
   
   
   
    Targeted for version 0.6
   
      * Get XMI writing in place, w/transaction support
   
      * Generate UML 1.5 and CWM 1.0 and 1.1, and add them to the
        'setup.py' package lists.

        but possibly without the modules) for DMs.
   
      * Lock management interfaces/API for peak.storage
   
      * Make 'cluster' parser complain about things that would cause
        the clusterit tools to choke or barf on the file, or which would
        produce ambiguous or unintended results.  (Or replace with ZConfig
        schema that can generate clusterit files.  And/or replace clusterit
        tools with PEAK ones.)
