Schedule for this year

[Edward K. Ream]

Ending the sabbatical has clarified my goals.

Priority 1: Support the release of leoInteg 1.0

Félix and I will take as long as necessary. 1.0 may happen in a week or two. If it takes longer, so be it. Still, I expect that leoInteg 1.0 will go out the door in a month or two at most.

Priority 2: Unit testing

Using `@test` nodes has become an embarrassment. I'll give priority to those Leo features that leoInteg uses. So most editing commands do not have to be tested. However, there are proper (traditional) unit tests for most of those commands anyway.

Priority 3: Solving new problems in Leonine ways

Innovation never happens in a vacuum. Instead, innovation is the result of solving juicy problems. So I'll be looking for those problems.

What I won't do

I'll continue to ignore the majority of feature requests. I'll consider "petitions," but the surest way of getting an issue done is to do it yourself.

I am unlikely to put substantial effort into projects such as "Leo in language X." Python is deeply privileged in Leo for several good reasons. Yes, the situation is different in leoInteg, and dealing with that difference is likely to be the source of innovation.

Summary

Leo and leoInteg will likely keep me busy for the rest of my life.

All comments are welcome.

Hi all,

It's good to see these paths ahead. I particularly like the priority 3 as it resonates a lot with my approach with Grafoscopio (my Pharo powered outliner, inspired by Leo, Jupyter, TeXmacs, Smalltalk among others) development and its grassroots communities involvement solving "real life" problems (in my case it became quickly priority 1). I would suggest a little bit of lateral inspiration by using other outliners and tools. In my case, the old inspiration with the afore mentioned tools has been improved by the recent exploration of Doom Emacs[1] and Lepiter[2]. Maybe such lateral exploration would seed the interesting and powerful Leo+LeoInteg bridge.

Also good to know that your sabbatical is over. Of course you can extend it as you like, but is always good to have you here Edward and to see the energy you imprint in this place.

Cheers,

Offray
