See retrospective and iteration plan, +below. Longer term, we aim to get a talk on Fable to the Debian +miniconf in Cambridge in November. + +For the miniconf, we'll want Debian packages, and possibly snaps, and +the tooling should be less of a prototype, but it doesn't need to be +production ready, yet. + +We also both mentioned Fable to others, and there seems to be some +tentative initial interest. + +We agreed that only code blocks at the top level will be supported for +fable scenario snippets. If we want to add support for them in, say, +list items, we can consider that when there is an actual user request. + +We discussed tracking requirements for a moment, but agree that it's a +post-November thing for Fable. We need to keep scope limited to make +progress. + +Fable branding may be relevant for the November presentation, but it's +not something we need to worry about before the BBQ. + +At or after the August BBQ, we may want to recruit someone who's good +a typesetting or LaTeX. + +Retrospective +============= + +Lars has written (drafts of) two sample documents, the tutorial, and +an architecture document. The document generator seems to work +sufficiently well. The code generator (in Python, for Python) works +enough for one sample document. + +Daniel has investigated Rust crates for parsing Markdown, and has the +beginnings of code that parses and then recreates it. Also, the code +can extract fable code blocks. This is a first step of being confident +we can parse and manipulate Fable documents. Unfortunately, the +pre-1.0 crate has just changed its API, so this work will need to be +re-done. + +Iteration plan +============== + +Lars +---- + +1. Implement the jt fable so it runs successfully. +1. Write some preliminary scenarios for the architecture document. +1. Style HTML output a little. +1. Style website a little. +1. Check that the installation instructions in the tutorial work. +1. Add to the tutorial a request to give us feedback on Fable and the + tutorial. + +Daniel +------ + +1. Update the rust poc tool to adapt to markdown crate changes. +1. Ask our mutual friend R. M. to follow the tutorial and give us + feedback. -- cgit v1.2.1
