ToDo

From Woofgui

Contents

Gettin' down & dirty with codework

  • Coding: Write an autoinstaller-script that copies all necessary files to their locations + chmods them.
  • Coding: GUI-output for the smaller error-messeges below the usage-function in woof (aprox. line 550)
  • Coding: Fin out + implement how to define a GUI-icon for the main-window


Decisions that need to be made


Research which needs to be done

  • Research: How to check for GTK / QT (NOT Gnome / KDE!) on an enduser's system?
  • Research: Is the active service (Pythons baseHTTPserver-module) to offer a file for download easily hackable?
  • Research: What router setup is required? Woof seems not to work with non-static ip-address or non-forwarded port. Check and write howto.
  • Research: We need a list of packages required to run woof (to check against when running the install-script)


Done! Things we've accomplished!

  • Decision Settle our tool's name. We need to get consistancy
  • Gui-application_or_filemanager-script
  • Coding Complete Code-Rewrite. After we find out how to test for GTK/QT and which environment (Parent-Process) has launched our tool, we'll have to rewrite the whole script based on the original woof-code and keep the console-functionality working this time. We'll add variables to only display GUI-stuff for GTK/QT if the parent-process was in fact not a console
  • Research How to find out the parent-process that started our tool
  • Research Is it wise to use the same port 8080 again and again
  • Decisions Modify or enhance the_original woof console-concept
  • Research How to read out the set system-language of an enduser's computer
  • Find out outer-IP so people can download files while not in LAN
  • Include a simple Abort-Button on the interface
  • Design a Logo
  • Research mutlilingual software written in Python
  • Copy URLs to clipboard in Gnome/KDE
  • Research Versioning Control Systems
  • Set up Versioning Control System + more to collaborate on the code
  • Set up Wiki
  • Notify the woof-author about our efforts
  • Fix the currently broken translations!
