Silme:roadmap

Work on library is divided into stages:

stage1

The goal of stage one was to create a skeleton of the library, create fully serializable L10nObject and provide an initial 3-way diff.

Goals

• Create L10nObject, L10nPackage classes
• Create simple localization scripts
• Create simple diff classes
• Create complex diff classes
• Create simple GUI app
• Create simple webapp

stage2

In stage2 the whole library has been revised to clean and optimize the code. Additionally, the code structure has been stabilized and many IOClients/FormatParsers has been added.

Goals

• Rewrite Entity class to look clean
• ReadersWriters should be able to register themselves to L10nReaderWriter
• Clean the entirely codebase and simplfy a lot of code pieces
• Make the code readable
• Implement in the nice way all the dirty hacks applied "in hurry"
• Add support for gettext
• Add support for SQL
• Support Python 3.0
• Load L10nPackage without loading L10nObjects
• Support not processed files/not loaded files in l10nPackage (class Object)
• Build a hybrid locales

silme 0.5

Stage 3 (Silme 0.5) is the current one. I'm writing a set of applications on top of the library to test how well the library solves the problems while writing apps.

• Multilocale objects (for XLIFF, tc, po)
• Add support for L20n
• Work on performance, memory management
• Freeze the interface and involve others to work on tools and library itself.
• Remove silme.fp
• Clean silme.format, silme.io
• Make use of silme.(io|format).Manager

silme 0.7 (plan)

• Entity processing (for l20n, DTD)
• Add support for html
• Add fast track for modifing/removing/adding single entity to all files without loading l10nObject
• Accesskey solution
• Context soltion
• Glossary solution
• Dictionary solution
• Similar uses solution
• Statistics solution (silme.stats)
• Plurals/Declension solution
• Investigate Komodo IDE
