 Open Issues/To-Do Items  Open Issues/To-Do Items
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 1   Short Term Project Support
   
     * Fix issue w/reading XMI 1.1 files where metamodel has nested packages      * peak.running.timers
   
     * Document interface expected of "active descriptors" and their complements        - Factor out state into separate object so timers aren't shared state
       (e.g. __class_provides__), refactoring for cleanliness as needed.  
   
     * Refactor "Pythonic" UML 1.3 extensions so they're usable for most        - Fix 'win32' problem (should be checking sys.platform not os.name)
       MOF-aligned metamodels (e.g. all UML and CWM versions)  
   
     * Remove deprecated items from peak.model: Feature, Reference, Package,        - Look at possible integration of peak.query and cursor formatters, in
       Model, Namespace, DataType, etc.          order to view stats as an in-memory mini-DB w/reporting.
   
     * Get XMI writing in place, w/transaction support  
   
     * Updated reference docstrings for 'peak.api', 'peak.binding',  
       'peak.config', 'peak.exceptions', and 'peak.naming'.  
   
     * Finish tutorial chapter 2 (?)  
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 2  
   
     * On-the-fly class combination (think "runtime module inheritance",  
       without the modules) for DMs.  
   
     * ZConfig support, probably in the form of generating ZConfig schemas  
       from 'peak.model' or MOF models, but maybe in the form of 'fromZConfig'  
       constructor methods as well.  
   
     * 'peak.running' refactorings: use standard 'logging' module's log levels,  
        add 'logging' distro to 'peak.util' for 2.2 backward compatibility,  
        make daemons based on 'peak.model' (or at least define ZConfig schemas),  
        and possibly adjust cluster stuff to work off ZConfig primary and  
        generate clustertools file(s).  App startup tools based on ZConfig and  
        PEAK-style .ini files.  
   
     * 'peak.naming' refactorings: 'peak.model'-based syntax utilities for  
        creating address syntaxes.  
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)  
   
     General  
   
         * Tutorial complete through chapter 4  
   
     peak.storage  
   
         - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?  
   
         - lock management interfaces/API  
   
         - docstrings for reference  
   
     peak.model  
   
         - clean up TW docstrings & interfaces  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3
   
       * peak.binding
   
         - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface
   
       * peak.running.logs
   
         - Add 'DefaultLoggingService', service-based system
   
         - Separate formatters from publishers
   
         - Loggers should know their names and pass that info to event constructor
   
       * peak.config
   
         - 'ZConfigSchemaService' and 'zconfig:schema@streamURL' scheme
   
       * peak.web (some of this may get bumped to alpha 4)
   
          - clean up DOMlet parse/build framework (e.g. add line number info)
   
          - default error templates, w/useful 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.running.commands
   
          - Add option parsing framework based on optparse (backported to 2.2)
   
       * peak.config
   
          - Writable and subscribable config sources, including editable .ini's
   
       * 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).
   
       * Drop 'persistence' package, since ZODB 4 has been derailed.  Change to
         "state-delegation" model, which will integrate better with 'peak.query'.
   
   
   
    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)

         - 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.)
