I'm not opposed to a Hello Word example taking shortcuts to make the
CPIA structure apparent and easier to understand as long as it's not
advertized as a way of coding Chandler. So whatever is under
chandler/parcels/samples is probably OK with me. We certainly can
improve it to make clearer that this is "educative code" not "Chandler
template".
I'm a little bit more concerned though by the changes to
chandler/parcels/osaf/ files included with that commit. I'm reluctant to
see any kind of modification at that point of the release cycle for the
unique incentive of writing example code and doc. Only bug fixes should
be allowed there.
Could we have the example written without changes to the Chandler core code?
Cheers,

I agree with you. I would have expected the example to be self contained
in the samples directory, and it to use the recommended methods
currently available and use in Chandler without introducing new things.
An example that is coded differently from the real Chandler seems less
valuable than an example that shows and explains how we really do things.
If John discovered a better, new way to do things, we should discuss
whether or not we should take that change separately and convert ALL of
our current ways into that. I think this late in 0.6 we shouldn't.
My proposal is not a replacement for our current mechanism. Instead
it's only for the special case where you only want a single view for
your item, not a view made up of combined types like we do when whe
combine kinds with stamping. It has the advantage of making the hello
world sample much smaller and simpler than it otherwise would be --
and doesn't preclude extension to the normal detail view case.
