Gburto01: Some initial comments

Some initial comments

New page

== utils ==
I suggest that we have utils directory (or some similar name) at each level to hold common code that is shared. So for example src/gen/utils, src/gui/utils etc. --[[User:Gburto01|Gburto01]] 12:35, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

== config ==
How about src/config (or maybe src/gen/config) for holding the application configuration code? This code is pretty much cross application and I think important enough to warrant it's own location in the directory structure. --[[User:Gburto01|Gburto01]] 12:35, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

	:Right now, I would really like to see there be only 4 base directories (gen, gui, cli, plugins). I could probably be talked out of this but if we go with that rule, then config would be in src/gen/config. --[[User:pez4brian\|pez4brian]] 15:51, 22 June 2008 (CST)		:Right now, I would really like to see there be only 4 base directories (gen, gui, cli, plugins).

		+
		+	::I saw config at higher level (src/config) because configuration is something that cuts across functionality from all of the existing four base directories - it's not something that is specific to just gen objects. My view of gen is that it's a place to hold objects that concern the Gramps data model and functionality that directly operates on the data model. --[[User:Gburto01\|Gburto01]] 08:10, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

	:I would agree with this. However, I think that a LOT of things that we have under "utils" should actually be their own modules. A "utils" directory is easily misused as a "I'm too lazy to think of a good name and apply proper abstraction" directory. So as long as it is used with caution, I would support it. --[[User:pez4brian\|pez4brian]] 15:47, 22 June 2008 (CST)		:I would agree with this.

		+	::Class abstraction should take care of most shared code so we should be looking to fit any shared code into the appropriate level in the class inheritance trees. However there will always be some bits of shared code which does not easily find a home unless we invoke some Gramps uber-class from which ''everything'' inherits. Perhaps "shared" or "common" would be a better name rather than "utils". --[[User:Gburto01\|Gburto01]] 07:56, 23 June 2008 (EDT)
