I completely agree. So far, I think I've heard one vote each for "options", "settings" and "presets". Like many open source projects, this started as an in-house thing, and I just called it "my values stuff" and the team knew what I was talking about. When it came time to release it to the public, I couldn't manage to describe it in anything short of a full paragraph. The real trick here is to find a short phrase that would work as a title for its documentation, and a one- or two-word name for the package itself, that would (ideally) reflect the name of the documentation. I think it would be best if it could somehow reflect the fact that this is intended to separate the role of programmer from that of manager, but I really don't know how to go about that. I'll keep thinking on it. > * Minor clean-ups (I've got some nits to pick about a few things, but > I can pick 'em myself and send Gulopine a patch) > * Unit tests (as part of the Django test suite) > * Sign-off from the other core devs. I'm glad for any clean-ups you can offer. This was very much a one-man job, and I know I can tend to focus on just "getting it done" when there are more elegant and readable techniques available. As for unit tests, I had started on some a while back, but those got put aside when the feature change requests came in. I'll get back to work on them and hope to have them ready sometime next week. I'd also add documentation to this list. I know I wrote up a good bit on the Google Code wiki, but I don't think it would fit very well with Django's existing docs if it were taken verbatim. I don't know if you guys have somebody who writes docs or if it'd be best if I do it, but I have a soft spot for documentation, so I'll at least give it a go. -Marty --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
