I thought I'd drop the list a line (or two or three) with the stuff I want to do soon, since it might be interesting, might inspire some people to help, and might just help me get my thoughts together.
Rubric is an application I wrote some years ago, for storing tagged bookmarks and notes. I use it for both bookmarks and my journal: http://rjbs.manxome.org/ I'd like to do some big overhauling of Rubric. I wrote Rubric before CGI::Application had much in the ::Plugin namespace, and I'm sure I could simplify it a lot. There's not much reason to have my own authentication crap, and I think the Rubric::Renderer is sort of an albatross (although a cool one). I'd like to redo the ORM code to use RDBO instead of CDBI for speed, portability, and extensibility. I'd like to add some liberal use of jQuery. When I was last doing a lot of work on Rubric, there weren't any JS libraries that tickled my fancy, and the features I did want (like autocomplete) didn't really work at all in OmniWeb, my browser of choice. These days, jQuery exists, OmniWeb is better supported, and I'm using Firefox anyway. I have some ideas for features I want to add, too, like tag stacks that let you drag entries into a pile that automatically tags them with something. The pile can then be expanded into a view, and things can be dragged out of it. I want to use this for implementing a 'to read' queue, for example.
