 Open Issues/To-Do Items  Open Issues/To-Do Items
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 1      * peak.binding
   
     * Finish tutorial chapter 2         - make indirection convenient (e.g. bind to looking up something from
            another binding)
   
     * Updated reference docstrings for 'peak.api', 'peak.binding',         - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface
       'peak.config', 'peak.exceptions', and 'peak.naming'.  
   
          - Ensure default __repr__'s for all bindings are acceptable
   
          - 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.
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)  
   
       * peak.web (some of this may get bumped to alpha 4)
   
     General         - default error templates, w/useful info
   
         * Tutorial complete through chapter 4         - 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)
   
     peak.storage         - 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)
   
         - LDAP field type conversion         - try/catch DOMlet (and related error rendering interface/framework)
   
         - Rack -> DM  
   
         - "facade" DM base class(es)  
   
         - "query" DM base class(es)  
   
         - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?  
   
         - SQL field type conversion for txnTime? Should already happen  
           for Sybase and Postgres which select the time. So, what to do  
           about ManagedConnection's txnTime?  
   
         - lock management interfaces/API  
   
         - docstrings for reference  
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 4
   
     peak.model      * Transaction/storage refactorings
   
         - add support for lazy-loaded attributes        - transaction scopes for commands and tasks
   
         - clean up TW docstrings & interfaces        - integrate locks with transactions
   
     peak.naming        - transactable persistent queues
   
         - useful example "flat" naming context (e.g. like AppUtils.URLkeys)        - DM.find()/DM.get() queries
   
         - useful example hierarchical naming context (e.g. like JNDI's LDAP  
           context or filesystem context)  
   
         - rework smtp: to return a facory object that supports open().      * peak.web
           Also think about wether smtp should move elsewhere. Maybe  
           there should be peak.network or peak.internet for things like  
           smtp, ftp, etc contexts?  
   
     peak.running         - allow use of // in DOMlets' data paths, to access resource space
   
         - more docs for new 'cluster' tools         - DOMlets for layout/region, as defined in "A layout framework":http://www.eby-sarna.com/pipermail/transwarp/2003-August/000684.html
   
         - make 'cluster' parser complain about things that would cause         - conditional GET support (last modified/ETag) for static resources
           the clusterit tools to choke or barf on the file, or which would  
           produce ambiguous or unintended results.         - 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 'Obtain' or 'Make' 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)
   
         - finish misc tasks on peak.running.logs's TODO list          - useful example hierarchical naming context (e.g. like JNDI's LDAP
             context or a filesystem context)
   
         - simple daemons comparable to those in MetaDaemon          - rework smtp: to return a factory object that supports open().
             Also think about whether smtp should move to peak.net?
   
         - unit tests for daemons  
   
         - 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.)

     * 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.
