Grant

• Progress
• 6627: Twisted should log to chandler.log
• 7176: zanshin unit tests fail on python 2.5 + twisted 2.4.0
• 7505: MIME-related classes should inherit from ContentItem, not Annotation
• 7547: Detail view accesses attributes in stamps the item doesn't have
• Recurrence:
  • Created a branch for working on recurrence (with JeffreyHarris, mainly).
  • Committed the implementation of per-attribute modifications, and fixed a couple of issues.
  • Discussions with Jeffrey on triage status-related issues.
  • Fixed an issue where the minicalendar was generating events, even when it shouldn’t have been.
  • Implemented some changes to how various Calendar-related indexes are computed; got unit tests passing.
• Edit/Update:
  • Tried a couple of approaches for making items’ edited state be updated correctly:
    1. Add an explicit call (I called it userchange) that the various code>AttributeEditors use to make sure the item is updated correctly.
    2. Rework the Occurrence proxy to update edit state. It turns out this is already hooked into most of Chandler’s UI, so this makes for a smaller change.
  • Added support for error and queued states.
  • Met with JeffreyHarris and MimiYin to work through some scenarios involving conflicts in the existing sharing/sharing over email scenarios.
• Finally finished writing up my SVK notes (GrantBaillieSvkNotes).
• Followed up on, and diagnosed, a bug reported on the design list (cf: 7484).
• Wrote a tool to auto-publish my local SVK branch work to http://people.osafoundation.org/grant/status.html.

• Plan
  • Edit/update support:
    • Write up proposal and remaining issues to chandler-dev@.
  • Recurrence:
    • Write unit tests for making sure indexes are working in the new recurring event scheme.
    • Fix said tests :).

PJE

• Progress
  • EIM record diffing and conflict detection
  • Co-designed sync algorithm for client-server EIM exchange
  • Designed P2P EIM sync algorithm
  • Implemented field filtering tools to allow UI-selectable preferences for whether individual fields are shared (works w/either sync algorithm)
  • Implemented EIM recordset arithmetic, including diffs and conflict detection
  • Implemented URI lookups for record types and filters
  • Gave recommendations for "baseline" storage approaches, and for EIMML design tweaks
• Plans
  • Implement EIM "translator" framework (for parcel developers to implement their EIM schemas with)
  • Verify recordset conflict detection when deletions are involved

Bear

  • Continued working on converting shell scripts to python
  • Modified version.py so that the revision number is discovered
