The one thing we absolutely have to have in place before a framework
1.0 is the localization stuff. If anyone knows of a good tutorial
that explains just where all the .po and .mo files go for a structure
like Dabo, I could create the tools to generate the localized files.
We should go for 0.8 sooner rather than later, since I feel that the
changed record logic you added is a big improvement that will benefit
everyone. We also need to support the latest wxPython stuff, since
people will be installing that on their machines. After that, move to
a 0.9 that incorporates the localization stuff. Is there anything
else that we need to be working on, framework-wise?
Once the localization and unit testing stuff is in place, I say we
focus on getting 1.0 official. Not a whole lot of new stuff; just
really going over what we have to make sure that it's as solid as
possible. When we do, we should have a big party!
As far as the visual tools go, once we can move to wxPython 2.8, I
want to wrap the wx.AUI stuff and use that as the basis for the IDE.
Once those classes are wrapped, I can start thinking about what the
IDE should look like and work like. I should probably spend some time
with Eclipse, VS.Net, and even tools like Boa or Access. Not that any
one of those is the ultimate in design, but I want to get a feel for
what people would be expecting in an IDE, no matter what background
they are coming from.
