Diff for "Hackathon2005"

This is just a brainstorming session right now. We can prioritize discussion and ideas for projects later.

• Discuss the difference between node hide and delete concepts -> Goal: get conceptual clarity and a plan to document/implement any necessary changes based on this

• Improve conceptual clarity and better document the core and graph model - Is the root graph a multigraph or a graph? Is the root graph directed, undirected or mixed? How about graph perspective? Can nodes or edges be duplicated? etc.
• Discuss switching to a numbered node system instead of the current node ID as a string system
• Discussion of undo manager
• Prioritize subsystems for refactoring
• Discuss new documentation options e.g. wiki based, which can be translated to PDF and Java help.
• Plan core code cleanup - removing old libraries, old classes, clean up of package structure
• How can we package code so it is easier for developers to load - we have a problem with core plugin and library code being in too many places.
• Clarify and document the difference between core and non-core and decide on policies for making future decisions on this.

• Review community development process and core coding conventions, etc -> goal is to increase quality of our codebase and application

• Discuss user interface standardization issues (Benno brought this up 2 years ago)

• MetaNodes

• Discussion of how to handle "compound" node types -- e.g. complexes, families (sets) (related to MetaNodes above...)

• Please add your discussion points here.
