Archetypes-oriented Sprint

My team at SAIC is looking to sponsor a Sprint to do some updates to
Archetypes and wanted to explore other developer's interest in
participating.  Here is some general information on how the Sprint is being
planned - the first 3 are Archetypes general; the last bullet focused on
integration with Openlaszlo, which will be a bulk of the work:

 

-          We would add in a set of properties for JavaScript events (e.g.
onBlur) so that these could be produced in a more tightly integrated fashion
as opposed to using CSS and JavaScript. These would be registered on an
Archetypes class.

-          We would modify all standard widgets that ship with Archetypes
and some others (particularly a couple used in building references) to take
advantage of these registered events.

-          Develop documentation for these properties and how you would
implement these in ArgoUML (or other modeling tool).

-          We have 10 use-cases based around developing default
lzx_contents, lzx_edit, and lzx_view - these would produce Laszlo lzx files
rather than XHTML; we are not focusing on much of the standard Plone
skinning architecture at this point - Laszlo must know the URLs to go to for
these, but we would utilize workflow, permissions, and need to be logged in
(if the permission set required it).  The idea is that Plone could be used
to manage content and be able to render lzx compliant XML for use by Laszlo.
This in turn can provide rich Dynamic HTML or Flash interfaces.

 

More details on these will follow.  We view an understanding of the internal
Archetypes software architecture/code, the Laszlo architecture, and the lzx
XML as key.  Participants don't have to be experts, but should familiarize
themselves with the above to be productive.  Laszlo Systems is providing a
trainer to get us started, but given a tight Sprint deadline, this trainer
will have to focus on just things we will need to understand given everyone
having some general knowledge.  I have cc-ed the zpugdc mailing list so they
are aware of our outreach to the Archetypes community.  We also plan to make
a similar outreach to the Plone community.  All code will be contributed to
the two open source communities (Archetypes/Plone and Laszlo).

 

We are scheduling this for the end of September here in our DC location
(Crystal City, VA). 

 

If anyone is interested in participating in this Sprint, please contact me
directly.

 

Thanks!

Paul
