Post to Wiki and dev list.	Proposal is written and ready for feedback, another round of discussions. I've posted the proposal to the Wiki and the dev list. I ended up deciding to use HTML.

Project : Chandler development / Framework / Third party / wxPython
Person	Goal	Status	Planned this week	Progress this week
Robin Dunn	One of the testers noticed that the time needed to Blit bitmaps to a DC on MS Windows has almost doubled in 2.5 vs. 2.4.	Completed	Try some of the ideas that have come from wx-dev and see if they make any differnece. I am grasping at staws here though...	This has definitly been a learning exercise for me, and I now know more about bitmaps on win32 than I ever wanted to, (and it still probably only scratches the surface...) I found that there was an error in the new wxBitmap::Create function in that it was always using CreateBitmap^? in the test case instead of CreateCompatibleBitmap^?, and so a conversion had to happen in Blit and that is what was slowing things down. (Forcing it to use a 24-bit DIB also helped restore most of the speed.) I proposed a fix and it was discussed and I'll be checking it in today (2/2/2004).
Robin Dunn	Do a SWIG modification that will assist in autogenerating wxPython class reference documentation.	In progress	I got a suggestion for an enhancement for my patch. Will check it out and integrate if it makes sense.	I'm still trying to make some sense of the enhancement (it allows more detailed docs to be associated with parameters by using a %typmap) but I'm currently leaning a bit in the negative direction on it. I did make another change though. I changed my "addtofunc" feature to "pythonappend" (to be a bit consistent with "pythoncode") and also added "pythonprepend".
Robin Dunn	Work on tools to extract the docstrings and detatiled docs from the SWIG XML output and put it into a simplified format that can be used for creating online HTML (or other formats) for wxPython reference documentation.	In progress	Write a tool (coordinating with community volunteers) that uses the new XML format to build input for a standard Python documenter tool. Decide which markup format should be used (evaluate ReST^? and epydoc formats.)	Nothing this week. Riaan is out of town and didn't send me his current work before he left.
Robin Dunn	Change wxMenu such that the menu item is returned from the methods that add an item to the menu. Also fix things so that if an ID of -1 is used then a new ID will be generated just like is done for the window classes.	In progress	Try to get the -1 --> generated ID code approved.	Not done as the bitmap issue dominated this week's time, although I've tested it on my machines.
Robin Dunn	Chapter reivews and editing for the wxPython book.	In progress	Chapter reivews and editing for the wxPython book. Chapter 8 is ready for review.	Chapter 8 reviewed and edited. Also reviewed recent changes to 3 other chapters, correcting a few typos and inaccuracies.
Robin Dunn	Continue testing and fixing problems with the new wxPython.	In progress	Continue testing and fixing problems with the new wxPython.	Fixed a minor problem with my EVT_WINDOW_CREATE fix for wxMac, Fixed some inconsistencies in parameter names and used the new pythonprepend SWIG feature to minimize backwards compatibility problems with the change. Updated the SWIG runtime used by wxPython. etc.
Robin Dunn	Work on adding more docstrings for the SWIG gererated functions and methods.	In progress	Work on adding more docstrings for the SWIG gererated functions and methods.	Not done.
Robin Dunn	Work on my OSAF bug list	In progress	Work on my OSAF bug list	Not done
Robin Dunn	wxMSW does not allow Shift-Tab to be captured by KEY or CHAR events, even if the wxWANTS_CHARS style is used. If the window is within a control container (wxPanel, etc.) then it is always used as a navigation key.	In progress	See if there is a way to make the change and still keep everybody happy.	Not done as the bitmap issue dominated this week's time.
Robin Dunn	Do another test release of wxPython 2.5.	Not started	Do another test release of wxPython 2.5.	Not done. Things are not yet ready for a new release.

Person	Goal	Status	Planned this week	Progress this week
Heikki Toivonen	Talkback for Chandler.	In progress		Discussed Talkback with Chris McAfee^?. (Talkback is a system that "phones home" when softeware crashes, including a stack trace of where the crash happened, which is a great help in fixing software problems.) Emailed the people that set up the Mozilla Talkback to see what we would need to do to get it for Chandler. If we used Gecko, we might be able to ride on Mozilla's license. We might also get a reasonably priced license to use Talkback because we are an open source project, even without Mozilla. In any case, due to significant hardware and software costs it seems like the only cost-effective solution might be to piggyback on Mozilla's talkback server if that was technically possible.

Took a big chunk of the week, especially since I was too sick to do anything Monday. 3 hours of discussion about litigating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Fox lawyer believes that it's "good for consumers" but none of the other panelist agrees. Interesting discussion by the San Jose asssitant DA who prosecuted the Elconsoft (employer of Dmitry Sklyarov) case. Also interesting discussion of identity theft. Plus more stuff. And of course, it's interesting to hear the legal disclaimer that the State Bar uses to protect itself from liability for content on these tapes.
