Scope Re-Definition

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

All the stuff from v0.0.1 is still valid, but I’m focusing on a smaller subset of problems for 1.0:

  1. CRUD of show metadata [place, time, etc.]
  2. Setlisting of shows.

Everything else is a bit ambitious, and I want to release code this year. In fact, I’ve resolved to do just that. The rest of it will just have to wait for future revisions … because honestly, I want to break the cycle with every free and open package I see, which is a long pre-1.0 period with perfectly good code in there, a post-1.0 bugfix period, and then a complete architecture revision for 2.0. Blah. I’m okay with frequent major revision rolls to reflect new featuresets.

Onward to the planning of the database schema to do this reduced scope! [Remember, I am an aerospace engineer. My "programming" course in college was FORTRAN 77.]
