[Fofredux-devel] 0.4 Roadmap

[Andrew T. <ajt...@hi...>]

Roadmap:
Now that we're putting together the next major version of FoFRedux, I
wanted to gather people's ideas on what the next version should
include, and how we want to go about adding it all in a timely, and
constructive, manner.

There are 3 major modifications happening (that I can think of):
1) Code framework cleanup/pull-apart
2) Multiple Users
3) UI redesign implementation, and ajax

Items 1 & 2 should happen together, as functions will need to receive
the user_id or session of the current logged in user requesting data.
Furthermore, a user table and several join tables will have to be
added to associate users with their: feeds, items, tags, and options.

Beginning item 3 can be done largely independent of items 1 & 2, as it
is implementing Khaled's designs in CSS/HTML/JS. When it comes to
actually hooking in the UI into the code, that's where items 1 & 3
will need to coordinate.

The purpose of the Code cleanup is to separate the "View" logic from
the Controller logic (assuming we use some kind of MVC design idea),
so the View interface can be spec'd later.

Katie & Kevin, can you you two handle items 1 & 2? You have the most
experience with modifying the db and logic.

Khaled and I can start on implementing the UI changes.

Any other devs floating around out there that will have free-time
coming up that want to pick up any of these items or bug/features
req's on the SF site? :)

Let me know what you think,
Andrew

Mapping:
I finally got a little bit of time to toss in basic mapping. As you
may remember/know, I'm a huge geo/mapping nut and this was one of the
reasons I originally picked up FoFRedux. I now have GeoRSS support of
the rss output and can display feed items on a GoogleMap. I'm planning
on adding better viewing/listing. The parameters in the map.php are
the same as view.php and rss.php.
