Hi, Marcelo
Sorry about the delay in replying. Indeed, our dev documentation is
not super up-to-date. Like an old street map, though, much of its
contents are still useful. Occasionally, of course, driving around
will reveal some unexpected roadblocks :o.
At the moment, while we are still exploring rearchitecture to address
performance and scalability concerns, updating it isn't our highest
priority. However, I/we will endeavour steadfastly to answer specific
questions you have (either on this list or in IRC). I'd also be happy
to "meet" with you on IRC if that would work better, too.
In the meantime, a couple of pointers you might find useful:
1) One place to get an idea of how things fit together is the tutorial:
<http://svn.osafoundation.org/chandler/trunk/chandler/distrib/docs/feeds-tutorial.html
>
2) Also, a while back on the design list, I posted a list of links:
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2008-January/008261.html

Well.. no answers yet, maybe the time to give this thread a *bump* :)
Also, I started reading the article about Chandler's architecture (http://chandler.osafoundation.org/docs/0.7/overview.html
) but even though it says 0.7 in the URL, it mentions 0.6 a lot and
seems a little outdated, or is it just my impression?
Chandler is a quite complex piece of software, if OSAF want to get
more volunteer developers, documentation regarding the architecture
and most important IMHO - quick start guides showing common and
proven patterns for setting up the development environment for
Chandler are essential.
I already checked out the source tree for the last release. Will
play with it in my spare time. Wish me luck!
Marcelo.

Hello fellows,
Fistly, I'd like to say that you guys did a great work on version
0.7.4! A minor revision number, but many improvements! I can feel
that the GUI is also more responsive. Great! :)
I really would love to start developing for Chandler - maybe some
local forks and experiments to better understand its architecture
and probably focus on plugin development later. I already program
Python (I'm a professional web developer working with Zope/Plone).
Where do you guys think I should start? Any articles on the wiki
that would worth reading before? Just checkout the last revision and
start playing? What infra-structure would be recommended (apart from
SVN, of course)?
I use Ubuntu 7.10 as my workstation OS.
Keep up the great work!
Marcelo.
