next developments around couchapp

[Benoit Chesneau]

Just a quick mail to make a little roadmap in place and so on.

First, there won't be new features in couchapp this month. Instead I
will concentrate on couchapp documentation, packaging (for debian,
redhat, ...) and adding lot of unitests to couchapp with a goal of 95%
at the end of the month. The doc will take place on a wiki as soon as
possible. I would like to make this wiki using CouchDB and couchapp.
This documentation will cover couchapp use, development of extensions
but will explore the development of a couchapp from scratch. For tests
I hesitate by using cucumber though it may be better to have tests in
python since app is coded in Python, any thoughts on that ?


After that I would like to add more features to couchapp in order of
priorities :

- possibility to ignore file
- couchapp server : to synchronize automatically changes between fs
and couchdb in both sense. Maybe it could remove the need of this
bloody hack in raindrop
- more commands : couchapp dump, restore, attach, admin, ? (add your own)
- integration with git/hg/bzr to allow you to easyly pass changes of
your couchapp

If you have any other ideas don't hesitate, I expect to make an alpha
before the FOSDEM. If you want to help join us on irc.

Did not try it yet but Freshen is a clone in python of Cucumber - may be worth to take a look at it ?

See : http://github.com/rlisagor/freshen

and in french about it : http://jehaisleprintemps.net/blog/fr/2009/11/25/les-pythons-et-les-concombres-main-dans-la-main-III/

My 2 cents of the friday evening...

Thanks I will have a look on it. Looking at the doc it looks like
cucumber. I'm not sure about the use of python decorators though.
