 Open Issues/To-Do Items  Open Issues/To-Do Items
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 2   Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3
   
       * Refactor binding and naming frameworks to
   
         - make indirection convenient (e.g. bind to looking up something from
           another binding)
   
         - eliminate remaining introspection/'isinstance()' checks
   
   
       * peak.binding
   
          - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface
   
          - Attribute -> AttribDef
   
          - binding.AttribDef has an adequate docstring
   
          - Review all current usage of NameNotFound in binding and naming
            packages.  If possible, push default values closer to the point of
            retrieval.  (The idea is to minimize the possibility that an unrelated
            NameNotFound error gets hidden by a routine catching NameNotFound
            in order to return a default value.)
   
          - Ensure default __repr__'s for all bindings are acceptable
   
          - Update tutorial for current kwargs
   
          - 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.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
       * peak.web (some of this may get bumped to alpha 4)
   
          - default error templates, w/useful info
   
          - 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)
   
          - clean up DOMlet parse/build framework (e.g. add line number info)
   
          - A set of simple, basic form controls that handle value rendering only
            (form metadata, validation, etc. will be handled by peak.web.forms in
            a later release)
   
          - try/catch DOMlet (and related error rendering interface/framework)
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
     * Finish 'protocols' breakout and prepare for possible PEP  
   
       - Add reference docs  
   
       - Create tutorial  
   
     * Fix issue w/reading XMI 1.1 files where metamodel has nested packages  
   
     * Generate UML 1.4 and 1.5 and CWM 1.0 and 1.1, and add them to the  
       'setup.py' package lists.  
   
     * ZConfig Integration  
   
       - A 'config.ZConfig' module that provides "PEAK-aware" versions of ZConfig  
         services (e.g. it will use 'peak.naming' to resolve URLs)  
   
       - App startup tools based on ZConfig files.  
   
       - Sample 'AdaptiveTask' classes that perform the same functions as those in  
         the MetaDaemon package, with a ZConfig schema to run them in a daemon-like   Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 4
         application.  
       * 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
   
       * "Pre-forking event driven services":http://www.eby-sarna.com/pipermail/transwarp/2003-August/000697.html
   
       * Have a way to easily in-line custom component usage (e.g. automatically
         create a subclass component with specified 'bindTo' 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   Targeted for 0.5 Beta 1
   
     * Updated reference docstrings for 'peak.api', 'peak.binding',      * Up-to-date reference docstrings for all packages
       'peak.config', 'peak.exceptions', and 'peak.naming'.  
   
     * Finish tutorial chapter 2 (?)      * Finish tutorial chapter 2 (?)
   
     * Web publishing framework sufficient to deploy page-based or object-      * Web publishing framework sufficient to deploy page-based or object-
       published apps        published apps
   
     * Get XMI writing in place, w/transaction support  
   
     * On-the-fly class combination (think "runtime module inheritance",  
       without the modules) for DMs.  
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)   Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)
   
     General  
   
         * Tutorial complete through chapter 4  
   
     peak.storage      peak.storage
   
         - 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)
   
         - useful example hierarchical naming context (e.g. like JNDI's LDAP          - useful example hierarchical naming context (e.g. like JNDI's LDAP
           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.
   
      * On-the-fly class combination (think "runtime module inheritance",
        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.)
