 Open Issues/To-Do Items  Open Issues/To-Do Items
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release   Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3
   
     General      * Refactor binding and naming frameworks to
   
         * Update tutorial documentation        - make indirection convenient (e.g. bind to looking up something from
           another binding)
   
         * Up-to-date and complete Persistence package        - eliminate remaining introspection/'isinstance()' checks
   
     peak.storage  
   
         - URLs and drivers for gadfly, Sybase, and postgres      * peak.binding
   
         - LDAP schema properties, SQL type mapping utilities         - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface
   
         - Rack -> DM         - Attribute -> AttribDef
   
         - "facade" DM base class(es)         - binding.AttribDef has an adequate docstring
   
         - "query" DM base class(es)         - 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.)
   
         - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?         - Ensure default __repr__'s for all bindings are acceptable
   
         - docstrings for reference         - Update tutorial for current kwargs
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
       * 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)
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
    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 '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)')
   
     peak.model  
   
         - add support for lazy-loaded attributes  
   
         - review XMI/Querying extensions for forward compatibility planning  
   
         - clean up TW docstrings & interfaces  
   
     peak.running  
   
         - create a basic LogFile logging provider  
   
         - unit tests for daemons?  
   
         - simple daemons comparable to those in MetaDaemon?  
   
         - docstrings for reference   Targeted for 0.5 Beta 1
   
     peak.binding      * Up-to-date reference docstrings for all packages
   
         - object names/paths      * Finish tutorial chapter 2 (?)
   
         - docstrings for reference      * Web publishing framework sufficient to deploy page-based or object-
         published apps
   
     peak.config  
   
         - docstrings for reference  
    Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)
   
       peak.storage
   
           - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?
   
     peak.naming      peak.naming
   
         - docstrings for reference          - useful example "flat" naming context (e.g. like AppUtils.URLkeys)
   
           - useful example hierarchical naming context (e.g. like JNDI's LDAP
             context or a filesystem context)
   
           - rework smtp: to return a factory object that supports open().
             Also think about whether smtp should move to peak.net?
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
    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.)
   
   
   
     peak.util

   Simulator/Module Inheritance    Simulator/Module Inheritance
   
       * Allow 'declareModule()' to bootstrap non-existent modules; this might

         modules.

   peak.model    peak.model
   
     * Review other-end-notification protocols in the light of managed storage  
       models (e.g. database Records using virtual sequence objects as fields)  
   
     * Marshalling interface in Services; implementations for Enumeration, etc.  
   
     * More S-E-F metadata: features, subclasses, svc.<->class, nested services  
   
     * A way to generate Z3 Interfaces from Feature-based specifications?  
   
     * Implement WarpCORE-oriented structural model, w/Querying support      * Implement WarpCORE-oriented structural model, w/Querying support

   peak.metamodels.uml  
   
     * Need to write an MMX or XMI -> Python generator, and hook it back up into  
       the UML package, since we're right now relying on a module generated  
       by code that depends on stuff which is going away.

     * XML Namespaces (do any current XMI tools need this?  Which spec version  
       requires this?)  
   
     * DOM StructuralModel (so files can be edited without affecting vendor XMI  
       extensions)
