To do and idea list for the sprint

[moschlar]

There is a hacking sprint on ToscaWidgets 2 scheduled for June 6th through June 8thAugust 26th through 28th.

This issue shall be used to collect ideas for features/goals that should be considered to be done during the sprint.

Reported by @moschlar:

• Write a howto for the steps needed to make a simple widget Python 3 compatible
• Fix tw2.bootstrap test suite
• Finish the tw2.forms html5 integration branch
• Support more modes of select2 (like tags) in tw2.jqplugins.select2
• Update tutorials in the docs (Update TG2 tutorial #79 amongs others)
• Write a tw2 roadmap document #47 Write a roadmap
• Delete obsolete branches #83 Clean up git repos
• Tidy up metadata #90 Check packages metadata

Reported by @amol-:

• Improve resources injection management Improve resources injection management #74

Reported by @ralphbean:

• Finish off the python3 work. (Python 3 #93) I think we're done there in the develop branches on tw2.{core,forms,devtools,jquery} but it needs another look, and we need to get some of the other commonly used libs.
  • I got some more outliers today. One notoriously not done one is tw2.sqla, but I'm not touching it ;)
• Clean up the docs and make sure we're up to date with
  • TG2
  • Pyramid
  • Flask - turns out we never had a flask tutorial
• Clean up the tw2.rrd demos and write some docs -- Documentation tw2.rrd#2 and data is out of date on tw2-demos tw2.rrd#3
• Adopt nose2 for the test suite so we can use generators when testing multiple template engines again.
  • Turns out we didn't need nose2, but only needed to abandon unittest.TestCase. See Feature/yielding again #94.

I'm also heavily interested in resources injection for ajax loaded partials containing TW2 widgets, it has been one of my core issues on any medium/big website with performance requirements:

• Improve resources injection management Improve resources injection management #74

I'm interested in closing (competently) as many tickets as possible, but I'd especially like to:

• Finish off the python3 work. I think we're done there in the develop branches on tw2.{core,forms,devtools,jquery} but it needs another look, and we need to get some of the other commonly used libs.
• Clean up the docs and make sure we're up to date with

• Adopt nose2 for the test suite so we can use generators when testing multiple template engines again.

I can probably help with the rrd stuff with some assistance. I use rrdtool a lot (but I use rrdtool not PyRRD which, uses rrdtool anyhow). I'm keen to move from the standard piping 'rrdtool graph' image which I do now to using tw2.rrd but its not there yet for non-trivial graphs.

Another suggestion, make jqGrid events work (or document them if they do already).

Also, should the protovis graphs be changed over to use d3? protovis is no longer being developed.

[ralphbean]

Just an update, @moschlar and I decided to postpone the sprint until the end of August.

[moschlar]

Now gentlepeople, the time is now, the place is, erm, everywhere, so let's get going! :D

[ralphbean]

Hooray!

Hey @csmall, it should be switched over.. but someone just has to make the time to do it. :) There is already a tw2.d3 package, it just needs to be fleshed out with more widgets. I'd be glad to give you commit access if you'd like to push directly to it.

I'll have a look at it and see if there is something I can do there.
