 Open Issues/To-Do Items  Open Issues/To-Do Items
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 1   Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3
   
       * peak.events migration
   
         - 'running.IProcessProxy' should use conditions/values instead of
           listeners
   
         - Implement basic 'events.ISelector' and 'IEventLoop'
   
         - 'UntwistedReactor' should use an 'events.ISelector' to implement
           I/O functions, and 'IEventLoop' to implement 'run()'
   
         - Add 'events.twisted_support', with 'TwistedScheduler',
          'TwistedSelector', and 'DeferredAsTaskSwitch'
   
       * peak.naming
   
         - 'ILoadingService', 'IObjectLoader' and 'load:kind@URL' scheme
   
       * peak.config
   
         - "service zones" or "service groups" to do smarter service groupings
   
         - plugin keys ordered by definition sequence, rather than randomly
   
         - ZConfig factory support to allow "smart" interpretation of strings,
           section names, etc.
   
       * peak.running.logs
   
         - Separate formatters from publishers
   
         - ZConfig schema for logging plugins, allowing multiple handlers/category
   
       * peak.binding
   
         - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface
   
   
       * peak.running.timers
   
         - Factor out state into separate object so timers aren't shared state
   
         - Look at possible integration of peak.query and cursor formatters, in
           order to view stats as an in-memory mini-DB w/reporting.
   
       * peak.running
   
          - Add "error formatting" and "error reporting" services
   
       * 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)
   
   
   
   
   
     * "Rule"-oriented configuration files (section specifies component rather  
       than property name prefix), w/support for chaining loader objects across  
       includes, and the ability to specify "Load on Demand" sections.  
   
     * Review possible cross-locational or "root" things like  
       'PropertyName' -- should these things move to the API?  
       Or where?  They're not 'util' things, certainly.  Perhaps  
       there should be a 'peak.core' module or package for things  
       that are foundational to all the packages?  
   
     * Updated reference docstrings for 'peak.api', 'peak.binding',  
       'peak.config', 'peak.exceptions', and 'peak.naming'.  
   
     * Additional content for the tutorial's chapter on binding  
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)  
   
     General  
   
         * Update tutorial documentation  
   
         * Up-to-date and complete Persistence package  
   
     peak.storage  
   
         - SQL cursor(joinTxn=flag) shortcut for .joinTxn()  
   
         - SQL cursor error logging, close conn on error, and rewrap errors  
           w/SQL in error object  
   
         - SQL field type conversion  
   
         - LDAP field type conversion  
   
         - Rack -> DM  
   
         - "facade" DM base class(es)  
   
         - "query" DM base class(es)  
   
   
   
    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 (?)

           - 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?

         - make 'cluster' parser complain about things that would cause     * On-the-fly class combination (think "runtime module inheritance",
        but possibly without the modules) for DMs.
   
      * Lock management interfaces/API for peak.storage

           the clusterit tools to choke or barf on the file, or which would            the clusterit tools to choke or barf on the file, or which would
           produce ambiguous or unintended results.       produce ambiguous or unintended results.  (Or replace with ZConfig
        schema that can generate clusterit files.  And/or replace clusterit
        tools with PEAK ones.)

   peak.metamodels.uml  
   
     * Need to write an MMX or XMI -> Python generator, and hook it back up into
