Hi guys, what are your thoughts about Webware after 0.6? i.e. "what issues need to be addressed before 1.0"
I assume that 0.6 will: ---------------------------------- * fix the console hanging and socket binding problems that Jeff's been working on * incorporate the fixes to Session handling that Ken contributed * incorporate the HEAD method fix from Ken * fix small misc bugs There's alot of ideas and code floating around for taking Webware to the next level after the 0.6 release: ftp://ftp.jslove.org/pub http://www1.ics.uci.edu/~tshumway/webware/ http://www.calrudd.com/Webware/ I think there should be a formal plan to deal with these ideas. It should address and prioritize the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** making the switch to distutills (probably requires a new package structure) *** implementing a more flexible framework for url handling ... relates to Clark's path sessions and the non-PATH_INFO stuff I've been working on. ** implementing some form of the multi-application idea that Jay and I have been working on * improving the structure of the config files (see the example in http://www.calrudd.com/Webware/) * adding a .shutdown() method to the Servlet API (see the startup/shutdown code in http://www.calrudd.com/Webware/). This also relates to Ken's DBPool.shutdown() suggestion. * working on the DBPool/Application API as being discussed right now * implementing some form of an output caching API (I posted about this a few months ago) * implementing a ZODB version of SessionStore that would allow sessions to be shared between multiple machines. * scrapping (or documenting) 'cans' * packaging Cheetah 1.0 and FunFormKit 1.0 with the Webware distro (once they're released) Maybe a formal decision making process like Python's PEP's would help with all this. Chuck, didn't you write a WEP at one stage for the Page.py changes? Webware's certainly large enough and complex enough to warrant something formal like that. If we go that route there should be a WEP section on the Webware site to house/categorize the WEPs. Finally, I think it would help to start a DEVEL_BRANCH in the cvs that would allow experimentation on these ideas, while the work on a stable 0.6 release continues.
