Platform Meeting 14 Feb 2006

Agenda

• Question of the week: If our tenet is about modularization and APIs, what tasks are missing?
• 0.7 alpha phases: DeveloperPlatformProject

Notes

• Question of the week: If our tenet is about modularization and APIs, what tasks are missing?
  • sharing and mail service have some logic that should be unified
  • remove "business logic" from ui (calendar as an example)
  • provide an overall service layer api, with consistent interfaces (perhaps a template?)
    • all service apis should mimic more generic twisted services
  • better separate out "chandler" code from "platform" code
    • e.g. application.py ==> chandler specific, but application/schema is platform
    • is the "presentation" layer or cpia code "platform" code? In some ideal sense, yes, but it may not be worth a lot of investment in refactoring this if we don't think it will be used by other applications.
  • some domain model logic should be moved from ui classes back into domain model
  • "presenter" layer factored out, might be used in scripting
  • Get stuff into APIs that are consistent with layers and remove circularities
  • Move collections api to repository
  • Make it clear how a parcel writer should be consistent with layers (IRC parcel as example)
    • Perhaps one egg w/mulitple parcels, where each parcel is one python module
• If you have problems running functional tests, or have some idea for how to improve the running of functional tests, please add a bug.
• We'll meet up at PyCon and discuss schema evolution next steps (in the meantime pje is on vacation and/or working on eggs/setuptools)

Ted

• Progress
  • Collections and Notifications Meeting
  • Reviewed CPIA documentation
  • Worked on Item Collections spec
  • Scooby meetings / landing page discussions
  • Collect feedback on governance memo - big issue was recourse/appeals
• Plans
  • Work on getting a replacment laptop
  • Interviewing
  • review I18N documents and schema docs
  • committer policy

PJE

• Progress
  • Bug fix for setuptools "develop" command, and implement lazy --find-links processing.
  • Worked on possible resource-finding standard (that Chandler i18n+eggs might be part of) on distutils-sig
  • Added more TestStartups debugging code to pinpoint OS X hangs better
  • Debugged and implemented /usr/lib64 fixes for setuptools on 64-bit linux
  • Designed and implemented a new PYTHONPATH-based installation scheme for setuptools in response to published criticism of its current approach
  • Implemented a "site"-directory verification scheme for setuptools, hopefully eliminating all future issues due to distro-patched installation schemes and eliminating the need to do virtually any pre-configuration -- in short, easy_install should now "just work" or tell you fairly precisely what needs to be fixed, across all platforms.
  • Implemented 'find_plugins()' facility in setuptools that Chandler will use to locate egg parcels and egg translations
  • Preparation for releasing setuptools 0.6a10
• Plans
  • Release setuptools 0.6a10
  • Out of office till Tuesday or Wednesday next week
  • Fix bug 5188
