Currently, the up-to-date task list is at sourceforge.net's task manager for
|
|
gzigzag project. All the tasks below have not yet been added, but there are
|
|
several interesting tasks there already which are mostly more well-defined
|
|
and important than the ones below.
|
|
|
|
If you want to work on any major task, please contact lukka@iki.fi first
|
|
to avoid overlapping work. The order below is random, not importance nor
|
|
a plan.
|
|
|
|
The two MAJOR design questions: these are not easy to solve
|
|
since there are many issues here
|
|
|
|
- 3rd generation file format: caching of saves to speed up operation
|
|
- the three features:
|
|
- micro-level undo
|
|
- cache saves
|
|
- use as notification buffer: check notifications all at once when
|
|
the code has finished.
|
|
- slices
|
|
- code complexity
|
|
- lazy loading
|
|
|
|
Minor design questions:
|
|
- circulars: different ops for going over back to headcell?
|
|
-> right now too easy to lock up.
|
|
|
|
Next major code cleanup:
|
|
- event queues, caching of some renderings?
|
|
- go through ZZCell, VStream and other APIs, check function names and parameters
|
|
for consistency.
|
|
- move packages
|
|
- document some APIs
|
|
- Redo ZZPrimitiveActions using clang as an intermediator.
|
|
- StringScroll -> interface!
|
|
|
|
Ted's requests:
|
|
- g to home cell, G ctrl home cell
|
|
- m marks current cell, M ctrl
|
|
(m done, M not)
|
|
- flags:
|
|
- no splines
|
|
- continuous drawing i.e. show same cell more than once
|
|
- repeat bars
|
|
- viewspecs also visible
|
|
- 4th dim?
|
|
- search -> mark
|
|
- place for marks (system list)
|
|
- number up/down
|
|
- washcloth windows / iris windows
|
|
|
|
Need more specs from Ted for:
|
|
- flob coordinate handling: zoom, setting etc.
|
|
- textcloud UI - two textclouds
|
|
- outline + expanded view using billowing
|
|
- vstream internal structure + markup + cursor handling when vstream
|
|
changed
|
|
|
|
Jobs for Vesa:
|
|
- Make FileWritable cache things:
|
|
- cache writes until a non-contiguous one is made, or
|
|
a read is done.
|
|
- cache reads by a readahead
|
|
- use a fixed buffer of e.g. 256 or 512 bytes.
|
|
- make caching optional and timetest with and without
|
|
- be very surprised about the results ;)
|
|
|
|
- MAKE SURE TO PUT AN EXPLICIT FLUSH COMMAND INTO WRITABLE AND
|
|
CALL IT AFTER EVERY FULL RECORD IS WRITTEN!
|
|
|
|
(If you want justification for this, just try strace'ing
|
|
a run and see how many system calls are completely redundant)
|
|
|
|
- MBox reader: make it structural, i.e. connect values of a field on
|
|
a d.byfield (sorted!), split multi-values into several cells and use clones for
|
|
the same people and msgids.
|
|
- undo
|
|
- move all AbstractView functionality to ZZDefaultSpace
|
|
--> think about the function names, propose better if you can.
|
|
- printing ? Export to html.
|
|
- Extern module for external commands
|
|
|
|
AJK:
|
|
project infrastructure:
|
|
- a test build daemon using JDK not Jikes
|
|
- javadoc autobuild daemon?
|
|
development:
|
|
- WET raster, structure
|
|
- add an option to TreeRaster for showing less-deep cells as larger
|
|
- fix the billowing bug in TreeRaster
|
|
|
|
Anyone:
|
|
|
|
- Do an RFC (e.g. 822) in a REAL, proper hypertext fashion.
|
|
|
|
- vstream -> enfilade-like thing
|
|
+ paragraph jumping
|
|
|
|
- tight brick links & edges with lighter color
|
|
|
|
- allow changing direction associated with dimension
|
|
- allow changing priorities - joystick & other controls?
|
|
|
|
- improve updatemanager and the views:
|
|
- updatemanager should take care of all animation lengths etc.
|
|
- there should be a parameter "complexity" which would allow
|
|
the updatemanager to tell a view to update itself only partially
|
|
(e.g. on animation on slow machines).
|
|
|
|
- change ViewCell to Viewcell everywhere
|
|
XXX to viewspecs / ???
|
|
|
|
- put debug info configuration into structure!!
|
|
- all involved classes in structure. Really neat.
|
|
|
|
- finish defaultspace
|
|
|
|
- separation into a global zigzag interface and a gzigzag implementation
|
|
for a standard (e.g. DOM-like) API separation
|
|
|
|
- grep the source for 'XXX'
|
|
|
|
- create a singlecellraster that shows all the connections from the given
|
|
cell along dimensions on a given list.
|
|
|
|
- check double clicks! If one click rerasters, what happens after?
|
|
|
|
- better rasters
|
|
- e.g. headcell-based.
|
|
|
|
- change dimensions to cells instead of strings.
|
|
- think about slicing problems... must handle when bringing
|
|
in the slice.
|
|
|
|
- first personal space: BOOKMARKS
|
|
|
|
- Clang
|
|
- primitive and advanced
|
|
|
|
- slices
|
|
|
|
- cursorspaces: d.cursor implemented transiently, to avoid lengthening
|
|
the cellscroll -
|
|
- possibly implement in ZZGlobal using FLAG_TRANSIENT cells?
|
|
|
|
- a view of the filesystem as a ZZ space.
|
|
|
|
- cellscrolls: The data is there but the access isn't
|
|
- animate through a cellscroll
|
|
- undo from cellscroll.
|
|
(XXX Not cellscroll but persistentdimspace now!)
|
|
|
|
- an HTML page showing pictures and applets to introduce people to ZZ:
|
|
show an image of the space and then an applet where you can move through
|
|
that space. Start by just viewing, then allow people to change the space.
