Gwibber

Summary

Discussion of plans for improvements to the Gwibber service in 12.10

Discussion Topics

  • gwibber-service refactoring
    • Testability
    • Stop caching in the DB completely and rely on the DeeResourceManager for cached models?

    • DB schema changes to leverage the advantages of a relational DB instead of just storing json strings?
  • Service Plugin changes
    • Make plugins standalone processes?
    • Provide superclass for all plugins to inherit from, useful for either current model or split processes?
    • use libpeas for plugins?
    • Split the plugins into separate sources and have individual maintainers for each?
  • python3
    • Barry already ported mx.DateTime and looks like there shouldn't be any blockers to porting
