Hello, I defined the concept of an Editable User Interface (EUI) on www.sonic.net/~suresh/eui and illustrated it with an extensive application on www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1052 .
I am now ready to modularize my work and deploy it on CPAN. The design I have is as follows: The essence of the work is the development of applications that use a text editor (such as VIM) as their user interface. This involves: A) Development of the application modules to interface to an abstract editor (acting as the editable user interface) B) Development the glue that will take any specific editor and make it act as an abstract editable user interface C) Simple enhancement to the interface of specific editors The actual deployment of the application will consist of consist of code that first instantiates an abstract editable user interface for a specific editor, and then uses this instance as one of the agruments to instantiate the application module. This deployment code -- which makes the application modules work with a given editor -- will not be part of CPAN, but would be part of <text-editor>.org. So the modules on CPAN would be: Result of development (A): EUI::TMS EUI::TMS::Configure EUI::TMS::Send EUI::TMS::Receive EUI::TMS::Organize EUI::TMS::Work Result of development (B): EUI::Vim EUI::Shell (A shell is not a text editor but this glue will allow (A) to be run from the command line -- which can be useful during debuging and as such too.) Result of development (C): EUI::VIM (adds some simple functions to the VIM class embedded inside the Vim editor) So I would like to register the following ten namespaces: EUI EUI::TMS EUI::TMS::Configure EUI::TMS::Send EUI::TMS::Receive EUI::TMS::Organize EUI::TMS::Work EUI::Vim EUI::Shell EUI::VIM In future there could be other modules: EUI::<APP>, EUI::<APP>::<Task>, EUI::<Type> and EUI::<EDITOR>. So what say you? -- I welcome comments/feedback. By the way, if you know of a script to fill out https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=apply_mod please point me to it. If there is no such script, I will be attempting to write one (using WWW::Mechanize?) -- I trust there is no danger of me messing things up on PAUSE by doing so. Thanks, --Suresh
