Future work in pitcl

Things to be done in future.

  • The tests do not cover each and every command, complete them.
  • The database information cache incurs a heavy startup cost. It might be better for the usual case to fill it incrementally.
  • I am getting doubts that it is wise to integrate the database -> packer map and the converter list into the main command (piDlp). People might want to use different lookup algorithms and/or store more and/or different information in these datastructures. Using command hooks instead to give the dlp objects a more indirect access to them might be a better choice. See Future architecture for a picture about this. The next topic below is part of this.
  • Think about and implement a framework for writing conduits (which are more than simple packers) in tcl.
  • Expand the documentation.
  • Design a logo for the extension.
  • Anybody out there wishing for more ? Feel free to send me suggestions, code, patches, bug reports, in short: Anything you think that might help me to make this extension better.
