 Open Issues/To-Do Items  Open Issues/To-Do Items
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release   Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3
   
       * peak.binding
   
          - make indirection convenient (e.g. bind to looking up something from
            another binding)
   
          - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface
   
          - binding.Attribute needs an adequate docstring
   
          - 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)
   
   
   
   
    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
   
       * "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
   
       * 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)
   
       peak.storage
   
           - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?
   
       peak.naming
   
           - 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.)
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
     General  
   
       * Update tutorial documentation  
   
     Database  
   
       * Create test suite to check proper transactional functioning, cache  
         consistency, queueing behavior, and typemap management.  
   
       * Update Interfaces to reflect current API, and document internals

     (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    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      * Need a strategy for handling "del" operations; they are currently
       untrapped.  This might be okay under most circumstances, but need to        untrapped.  This might be okay under most circumstances, but need to

       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

       of Once attributes, and DynamicBinding setting _p_changed on  
       instantiation.

   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.
