#939 Two week roadmap

brian Wed 27 Jan 2010

Tomorrow, I am planning to obsolete old APIs and put new APIs into place for the big ticket proposals:

  • #935 Env API replacing Sys and Repo
  • #934 URI based namespace (and removal of UriSpace)

I will also tackle #883 to simplify standard build targets.

Then I will perform a build with the transition APIs into place, and begin work in earnest on the architectural changes outlined in the proposals today. With potentially a follow-up build later next week. Assuming experience doesn't prove any failed experiments, that build should be roughly pretty close to what I am envisioning for 1.0 (other than a couple of API things on the list and that we are still discussing).

Most of the URI stuff was previously discussed. I am not expecting the Env stuff to be too controversial because I've had about a zillion requests for the hooks to make the environment more pluggable (which this should solve). Not sure how facet redesign will strike everybody - we might need some brainstorming on that.

But the important thing is, I'm rolling! So if you have feedback on these design changes, then the quicker the better.
