[cosmos-dev] Re: The road ahead

[Mark D Weitzel <weitzelm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A few things...
I copied eclipse-dev on this note b/c
there are a few other folks that are interested in this thread.

Sheldon is going to have an updated
programming model document/wiki page for the UI out by EOD tomorrow.  I
think that Jimmy has a list of ERs that can serve as a starting point for
dividing up the work.

Relative to the demo:  Hubert is
moving some of the code required to run the demo into head today.  Sheldon
will have an updated UI based on this code once it's moved.  As we
decided in Detroit, Hubert will work with the release engineering team
(heads up Balan) to cut a manual build.  The RE team will update the
"how to run the demo" page etc. and this will be the i7 candidate
driver that we will all begin testing.  

Jimmy:  This will be a good time
for the person from CA that will be working on the release engineering
team to get involved.  Because we now have the domain, broker, et.
working, the build needs to be modified.  Hubert will outline what
we need for the manual build.  I expect Balan make sure this we get
it built by EOD tomorrow.  This will allow us to start testing the
candidate driver by Wed.  We will also need to update the automated
build.  Again, I'll look to Balan to update the build and get automated
scripts working again.

Relative to setting up the development
environment.  We have a wiki page setup for this (http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOSDataCollectorEnvironment).
 It's changed a bit b/c of the refactoring.  I've asked Hubert
& Sheldon to update this once we've got the candidate build up and
running.  Because there is some other cleanup work relative to the
refactorings etc. our target is end of week.  If this turns out to
be a bottleneck, let us know and we'll see if we can move some things around.

Hi John,

As mentioned in my note to Jimmy there
are several enhancements assigned to myself and suggestions I made that
the CA folks can tackle.

I would start by understanding the dojo
toolkit programming model since the COSMOS ui will extend and use alot
of the DOJO programming model concepts for:
- object declaration/inheritance
- pub/sub messaging
- method connections
- attach points
- asynchronous requests

Here is the link to the dojo document

http://dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9-0

There's also some good information how
to debug and test client side code.

http://dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-4-meta-dojo-0

Unfortunately running the demo is another
story.  Right now the current COSMOS user interface works off a sandbox
build that Hubert created.  I talked with Hubert and he said that
this code is not simple to set up.     The current COSMOS user
interface code will be revamped with the programming model design I am
currently documenting.  I plan to finish the documentation tomorrow.
 

We should however talk about the next
steps going foward in terms of who is assigned the ERs so that design documents
can be created for those enhancements.   

Bill,  are there some logistics
that the CA team has to go over before we can discuss this?  If so
let me know when we can talk.

Thanks,

Sheldon

Subject	The road ahead

Welcome back for those of you that went to
Detroit.
I would like to have a post-mortem pow-wow
specifically focused on the tasks involved in the UI effort going forward
and who’s going to do what.
Looking to see where I can help and start
actually getting into the game here, as I have not fully done that yet.
There was also (unless I’m imagining it,
which is entirely possible) a demo of what we currently have in that space
that I missed but am interested in.
