Flow/2013 August Development

From mediawiki.org

August 6[edit]

Here's a brainstorm that Erik and Andrew came up with on August 6 about things to do for Flow.

  • API access:Access to data layer (getting post data from a specific board, etc)
    • Access to 'controller' layer (ability to do allowed actions)
    • I think we need to separate form submission logic (i.e. pulling values from request) from actual action logic in order to make this work
  • Visual Editor integration (allow people to edit Flow posts with Visual Editor)
  • Output (what's wrong here?)
    • Current output is just a random bit of HTML,  not styled and not seperated much
    • Existing tempates are very hackish (see topic.html.php )
  • Extensibility: Add hooks to storage layer
  • Finalise storage layer (tweak architecture, etc)
  • Implement JavaScript fanciness
  • User Subscriptions
    • Consider building something based on AbstractIndex that uses Redis ZSET, or continue using SecondaryIndex with correct sort/limit.
  • Need to think about workflow level actions: (un) subscribe, (un) delete, etc.
    • Should be the same for all workflows, regardless of their type?
  • Represent UUID's as an object
    • Has methods to retreive a binary representation for use in db queries, and a pretty (base36, 26 or 16?) representation
    • Methods to create from either representation (auto-detect strlen==16 ?)
