He's looking at +different Markdown parsers for Rust. + +Lars has made some changes to the prototype tooling and their command +line interfaces (only the Markdown input file needs to be named now, +and there are options to produce HTML and PDF, and to run the +generated test program), some changes to the architecture document, +and has had a feedback session with a co-worker who tried Fable. Lars +also made Debian packages, which get automatically built and published +by his personal CI. + +We updated the [[roadmap]], discussed licensing (probably copyleft for +the tools, but output documents and generated code should have same +license as their corresponding input files), widening the circle of +people we request for feedback (we named a few people to approach in +the new iteration). + +We discussed change review (we'll start doing that when we start +working on the production implementation), and project hosting +(probably github or gitlab, with an automatic mirror of code and +tickets and everything). + +We discussed some details of typography for the generated document. +Any drastic changes will have to wait for post-launch. It might be +good to find someone who's actually good at typgraphy to help us +design that aspect better. + +We're still making good progress for the August launch. There's not +much more we absolutely have to do by then, but the more mature and +smooth we can make the software for first launch, the better. + +We still want there to be a talk about Fable at the November Debian +miniconf. It looks like Lars won't be able to go, but Daniel will and +can deliver the talk. We'll prepare the talk together. + + +Iteration plan +============== + +Lars +---- + +1. Write some preliminary scenarios for the architecture document. +1. Add link to tutorial to Fable website front page. +1. Draft an invitation to look at Fable. Send it to a few selected + people. +1. Change PDF typesetting to use boldface for regexp captures, and + some and grey for keywords. +1. Fix tutorial tmp.py and tmp.md mentions. +1. Draft a proposal for Fable licensing for the production version, + and send to Daniel for review. + + +Daniel +------ + +1. Continue work on parsing and generating Markdown in Rust. +1. Review drafts from Lars. -- cgit v1.2.1
