 Open Issues/To-Do Items   Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 4
   
  Short Term Project Support  
   
     * Add "performance monitoring" subsystem to 'peak.running'  
   
     * Add support for finding/registering plugins to 'peak.config'  
   
       - Refactor IConfigKey to support explicit "namespace" concept  
   
       - Refactor IPropertyMap -> IConfigMap, add iterability/search  
   
         - Add inverted indexes for namespace lookups/search  
   
         - Add 'IIterableConfigSource' (?) subclass, use for search funcs.  
   
         - Lock namespaces that have been iterated over  
   
       - Change existing configuration keys not to use tuples as surrogate keys  
   
       - Add 'config.PluginsFor' key that finds plugins  
   
         - May need 'suggestParentComponent()' to support dictionaries so plugin  
           dictionaries will work correctly  
   
         - Should it implement the "smart property" interface?  
   
       - Things to look at during refactorings:  
   
         - Better consolidation of config/component key and recipe interfaces?  
   
         - Rule chaining  
   
         - Use objects for section parsing instead of functions?  
   
     * peak.storage  
   
       - 'storage.dbType()'      * peak.config
   
         - "service zones" or "service groups" to do smarter service groupings
   
         - Replace IMainLoop activity monitoring with a plugin-based mechanism?
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3        - plugin keys ordered by definition sequence, rather than randomly
   
     * peak.binding        - ZConfig factory support to allow "smart" interpretation of strings,
           section names, etc.
   
       - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface        - Writable and subscribable config sources, including editable .ini's
   
     * peak.running.logs      * peak.running.logs
   
       - Add 'DefaultLoggingService', service-based system  
   
       - Separate formatters from publishers        - Separate formatters from publishers
   
       - Loggers should know their names and pass that info to event constructor        - ZConfig schema for logging plugins, allowing multiple handlers/category
   
     * 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)  
   
   
       * peak.running.commands
   
          - Add "error formatting" and "error reporting" services
   
          - Add option parsing framework based on optparse (backported to 2.2)
   
       * 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.
   
   
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 4  
   
     * Transaction/storage refactorings      * Transaction/storage refactorings

     * peak.running.commands      * peak.web
   
        - Add option parsing framework based on optparse (backported to 2.2)  
   
     * peak.config         - clean up DOMlet parse/build framework (e.g. add line number info, make
            'define' clauses allow multiple names)
   
        - Iterable keys to PropertyMap (rename to configMap?)         - default error templates, w/useful info
   
        - Writable and subscribable config sources, including editable .ini's         - A set of simple, basic form controls that handle value rendering only

  Future Releases  
   
   (Note: some of the below is held-over from TransWarp and may no longer be  
   relevant as written, they are being kept on this list as placeholders for  
   ideas or problem areas that may need to be re-considered in future.)  
   
   Miscellaneous  
   
     * Functional tests that access "real" databases, LDAP, etc.  
   
   Simulator/Module Inheritance  
   
     * Allow 'declareModule()' to bootstrap non-existent modules; this might  
       let us create "virtual packages" made by assembling other packages and  
       modules.  
   
     * Need a strategy for handling "del" operations; they are currently  
       untrapped.  This might be okay under most circumstances, but need to  
       consider edge cases.  
   
     * 'makeClass()' should probably become part of the core API, where  
       it can be used to resolve __metaclass__ conflicts during the first  
       pass of importing a module (prior to running 'setupModule()')  
   
   
   Messaging/ObjectSpaces  
   
     * Support for sending and receiving remote cache invalidation  
       messages between DataManagers.  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   peak.model  
   
     * Implement WarpCORE-oriented structural model, w/Querying support  
   
     * "Indexed" version of in-memory model?  
   
   
     Queries  
   
        * Refactor to use interfaces, if appropriate  
   
        * Incorporate into AbstractModel?  
   
          - Pros:  
   
            * Queries always available  
   
            * Each StructuralModel implementation can easily include its own  
              performance-tuned version of the basic items.  
   
          - Con: default implementation doesn't perform well on large datasets  
   
        * How much of framework needs extensibility?  Should the predicate  
          classes be placed in the StructuralModel's namespace so that predicates  
          have their meaning assigned by the StructuralModel implementation?  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   peak.metamodels.uml  
   
     * Helper methods in Elements & Services for marshalling, common queries, etc.  
   
     * Generator framework  
   
       - Tagged values in stereotypes vs. main values?  
   
       - Should tagged values be copied directly into templates?  Treated as  
         Python expressions?  
   
       - Should Services be generated using an Element class' "static"  
         (class-scope) methods/attributes?  
   
         - Are association-ends scoped?  
   
         - Would it be better to seperate them?  
   
       - What determines whether an implemented Service actually stores objects  
         or delegates this to its subclass services?  
   
     * Simple demo (browse XMI model via the web)
