I've posted my proposal:
http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/SanitizeHelpSysAndAPIReference
I am 100% for this proposal and I have been thinking on and off about
the same thing for years. I agree that we need to create interfaces
everywhere. With that I propose the following to prevent future help
skew:
- That all interfaces in the system be verified in unittests.
Pardon my ignorance, but what tests can you write for an interface?
- We eliminate the duplicate interfaces currently used by the help
system (Some of these are actually fairly up-to-date, so we should look
at them first).
Yep. This was already in my proposal.
- If we create examples that they be runnable doctests, which are
executed by test.py
The latter may mean we need a better integration test framework, I don't
know. I think we'd need to try out a few and see. I can certainly help
here.
That would be much appreciated. I don't have a clue how to get
the preconditions set up for doctests.
IMO this is a task ripe for a divide and conquer strategy. Maybe we
should have a Help Day to kick this off?
good idea! But maybe we should let the proposal simmer at least
a few more days?
