PEGBOARD - Index of Proposals for Enhancing Gzz

As seen on the mailing lists, we need some structure to new architectural ideas. Let's try this.

All changes to the following packages ("frozen" packages) and classes must go through PEGs:

gzz
gzz.media
gzz.diff
gzz.impl.AbstractSpace
gzz.impl.AbstractDim
gzz.impl.ModularSpace
gzz.impl.CellManager
gzz.impl.DimManager
gzz.impl.IdentityManager
gzz.vob

Note, however, that these are not recursive: freezing gzz.vob does not mean that gzz.vob.vobs would be frozen - that package is most definitely not frozen.

Any other semantic changes to the frozen packages and classes will be summarily rejected and reverted. If you need a change quickly, then subclass or create a branch. Changes to javadoc and indentation etc. are exempted, as are bug fixes that correct classes to compliance with javadoc or the architecture documentation in doc/.

This list will be updated once in a while, to reflect newly stabilized packages.

It is also recommended that large changes to other classes or packages be PEGged first but not required: such changes will not be summarily rejected.

PEGs should use the python reStructuredText markup language. Quick reference could be handy. See also PEG 201 for current format.

Explanation of table:

Status

The current status of the PEG.

current: Currently under active consideration for accepting or rejecting.
revising: After being rejected, being revised for another round.
incomplete: Not yet being considered; details still being worked out by author and stakeholders.
undefined: Status is not yet defined, or peg's syntax is broken.
accepted: Accepted for implementing.
implemented: The changes are currently in main CVS. This PEG is now frozen, no changes should be made to it any more.
rejected: Rejected through peer review in the consensus process. Can be revived by being revised.
irrelevant: seems to be superseded by later PEGs.

Topic
