This file is intended to convey the current efforts, priorities and needs of the
|
|
codebase. It is for developers looking for a way to start contributing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deprecated Code
|
|
This is code that is going to be phased out "soon", and therefore is not
|
|
worth fixing or documenting.
|
|
|
|
- Variant.{h,cpp}
|
|
- Location.{h,cpp}
|
|
- TDB.{h,cpp}
|
|
- Att.{h,cpp}
|
|
|
|
New Code Needs
|
|
This is code that needs to be written, usually down at the C++ function level.
|
|
|
|
- text.cpp extractLines needs to be rewritten in a UTF8-aware and color-code
|
|
sensitive manner.
|
|
- Need a function to accept a list of projects, and return an indented list
|
|
that reflects the hierarchy. This will likely go into the new 'projects'
|
|
command.
|
|
- Take all the Config::checkXXX methods and create a new legacy.cpp file
|
|
that handles dealing with all legacy checks. To be called from
|
|
src/commands/CmdShow.cpp.
|
|
- Need export_sql.yy script. Any language.
|
|
- Need export_viz.yy script. Any language.
|
|
- Need new export_xxx.yy scripts - the more the better. Any language.
|
|
- Need new algorithm for determining the Y-axis for burndown charts. The
|
|
Y-axis shows three numbers - 0, N/2 and N. Choosing N appropriately is
|
|
not easy, and is currently done poorly. For example the value N=200 is an
|
|
ideal choice if there are 194 tasks because it is a nice round number, and
|
|
is not too far above 194. This should be a util.cpp function, that takes
|
|
an integer, and returns the integer, N. N should be even.
|
|
- The JSON.{h,cpp} code is fast and efficient, but has a non-linear
|
|
performance curve, implying a slowdown due to fragmentation. Fix it.
|
|
Test rig and sample data available on request.
|
|
- Devise a complete rule set for Task::validate. What should it warn about?
|
|
|
|
Documentation Needed
|
|
Various forms of documentation that are needed, or are in need of review or
|
|
update.
|
|
|
|
- Wiki/How-To: Date Handling
|
|
- Wiki/How-To: Urgency Customization
|
|
- Wiki/How-To: Custom Reports, including performance considerations
|
|
- Wiki/How-To: Aliases, particularly new enhanced aliases
|
|
- Wiki: Export formats
|
|
|
|
Holiday Data Needed
|
|
We are moving the holiday data to http://holidata.net, and providing a
|
|
script that can automatically update taskwarrior holiday files from the
|
|
web. This allows us to provide corrections and additional data without
|
|
the need for a corresponding taskwarrior release.
|
|
|
|
If you can provide regional holiday data, we would be very grateful, and
|
|
ideally it could go up on holidata.net for everyone to share.
|
|
|
|
Unit Tests Needed
|
|
There are always more unit tests needed.
|
|
|
|
- The basic.t unit tests are a misnomer, and should be either removed or
|
|
renamed. We have long talked of 'basic functionality' that includes add,
|
|
delete, done, and list commands. We need unit tests that prove that basic
|
|
functionality is working, and it should be called basic.t.
|
|
- None of the current unit tests remove the new backlog.data file, and they
|
|
all should.
|
|
- None of the current unit tests remove the 'extensions' directory, and they
|
|
all should.
|
|
- Need tests of command line expressions.
|
|
- Test propagation of modifications to recurring tasks.
|
|
- Test regex support.
|
|
|
|
Work in Progress
|
|
Things that are currently in flux, which is another way of saying leave it
|
|
alone while it is being worked on.
|
|
|
|
- The A3.{h,cpp} and E9.{h,cpp} (Args and Expression) objects are being
|
|
completd and tested.
|
|
- L10N (Localization) is in progress. This means moving all user-presented
|
|
strings into en-US.h, which is included by i18n.h. Language selection will
|
|
be a cmake-controlled #define. This is about 85% complete. This makes
|
|
translation possible, but there is no active project to make this happen.
|
|
It is expected that translation files will trickle in, and create a
|
|
maintenance burden. We don't know how we're going to deal with this yet.
|
|
|
|
Current Codebase Condition
|
|
|
|
'master' branch:
|
|
- 1.9.4 release, current, locked.
|
|
|
|
'2.0.0' branch:
|
|
- Unit tests passing >85%.
|
|
- Basic commands working (add, list, done), otherwise generally broken.
|
|
- Expressions E9.{h,cpp} not working.
|
|
- DOM access DOM.{h,cpp} not working well.
|
|
- Aiming for an early August beta1.
|
|
- Aiming for a late August beta2.
|
|
- Aiming for a release in 2011, probably September, but when it is ready.
