 Open Issues/To-Do Items  Open Issues/To-Do Items
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release   Short Term Project Support
   
     General      * Add "performance monitoring" subsystem to 'peak.running'
   
         * Update tutorial documentation      * Add support for finding/registering plugins to 'peak.config'
   
         * Up-to-date and complete Persistence package        - Refactor IConfigKey to support explicit "namespace" concept
   
     peak.binding        - Refactor IPropertyMap -> IConfigMap, add iterability/search
   
         - docstrings for reference          - Add inverted indexes for namespace lookups/search
   
     peak.config          - Add 'IIterableConfigSource' (?) subclass, use for search funcs.
   
         - docstrings for reference          - Lock namespaces that have been iterated over
   
     peak.model        - Change existing configuration keys not to use tuples as surrogate keys
   
         - make Element Persistent; add support for lazy-loaded attributes        - Add 'config.PluginsFor' key that finds plugins
   
         - review XMI/Querying extensions for forward compatibility planning          - May need 'suggestParentComponent()' to support dictionaries so plugin
             dictionaries will work correctly
   
         - clean up TW docstrings & interfaces          - Should it implement the "smart property" interface?
   
     peak.naming        - Things to look at during refactorings:
   
         - docstrings for reference          - Better consolidation of config/component key and recipe interfaces?
   
     peak.running          - Rule chaining
   
         - create a basic LogFile logging provider          - Use objects for section parsing instead of functions?
   
         - unit tests for daemons?      * peak.storage
   
         - simple daemons comparable to those in MetaDaemon?        - 'storage.dbType()'
   
         - docstrings for reference  
   
   
     peak.storage   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
   
          - 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)
   
          - 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
   
         - URLs and drivers for gadfly, Sybase, and postgres        - integrate locks with transactions
   
         - "alternate key" rack base class(es)        - transactable persistent queues
   
         - "query" rack base class(es)        - DM.find()/DM.get() queries
   
         - add logging to transaction error handlers      * peak.running.commands
   
          - Add option parsing framework based on optparse (backported to 2.2)
   
       * peak.config
   
          - Iterable keys to PropertyMap (rename to configMap?)
   
          - 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)
   
       peak.storage
   
         - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?          - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?
   
         - docstrings for reference      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?
   
   
     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.)

     * More S-E-F metadata: features, subclasses, svc.<->class, nested services

   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.
