It's the only way to convince me, or anyone else, that the new data model can be integrated into Leo. The demo is a good start, but we need working code within Leo. 2. I am starting to warm up to the model. I'm still concerned about duplicating table entries when cloning, and I am still concerned about the complexity of the code, but if everything works there would be some benefits to the new model. 3. You and Terry will be the ones maintaining the code after I am gone. I trust you, Vitalije, to be able to handle the code. Will Terry feel comfortable with the new code? We have to see it in context to know for sure. 4. I want to see exactly how compatibility with existing scripts is handled. I see now that it is not essential to keep the Position and VNode classes, but Leonine scripting must work *as if* the old classes were in place. I would need to see the exact code. Python properties probably make this kind to switcheroo easier than I first imagined. 5. Fixing #942 isn't your responsibility, but you claim that screen redraw is a big motivation for the new model. It would be good to see exactly how you would handle redraw. I will understand if you don't want to carry on at present. But on third thought I do think the new data model might work. I won't reject it out of hand. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
