Hi everybody, Work on the new module system[1] is going well - the only core component which remains to be re-organized is the UI.
I created a temporary darcs repository for people who want to try the new module system out and give feedback: http://factorcode.org/experimental/ You will need new boot images: http://factorcode.org/images/poo/ As for updating contributed modules, here is the plan. I'm leaving to go to New Zealand on June 24th and I will return to Ottawa on July 14th. I will make sure to finish the new module system and various other core changes before I leave. For the three weeks I am away, anybody who wants to update their own libraries should go ahead and do so; I will arrange for somebody (perhaps Doug or Chris Double) to act as the temporary patch-master during my leave. When I return, I will update any remaining libraries myself. There is one issue that remains to be hammered out though, and that is the organization of the source tree. I don't like the current libs/ apps/ system for contributed modules anymore. I propose we go back to a 'contrib/' directory, but organize it into categories: contrib/ db/ mysql sqlite games/ tetris space-invaders editors/ jedit emacs vim ... The question remains, do we make each category a vocab-root, or not. Discuss.
