Hi,
I'd like to propose an idea for the Google Summer of Code
2007.
Structures_DataGrid already offers some nice features, but
is currently
limited to displaying data. An editing feature for the
package would be
a nice (and often requested) addition.
This new feature would require the following tasks:
- make all DataSource drivers able to write data back (e.g.
with MDB2
into a database table)
- make all DataSource drivers able to filter data (e.g. a
record
identified by a primary key)
- make the core Structures_DataGrid able to work with
GET/POST data that
comes (e.g.) from a form
- make one or more new renderers that allows editing
(starting with a
HTML renderer that uses HTML_QuickForm [and maybe other PEAR
packages],
maybe followed by XUL)
This is a first and quick list of ideas of it. Comments
about the items
and the general usefulness for GSoC 2007 are welcome.
To avoid confusion: This is not a really 'open' proposal.
Olivier
Guilyardi and I are planning such an editing feature for
quite some time
now. And we think that GSoC would be a good opportunity and
motivation
for finally working on it. Therefore, the plan is that
Olivier would be
the mentor and that I would be the student.
It would also be nice to get some advice about the next
steps. For
example: Who would submit the proposal? (Of course, we will
provide a
better formulation with some background information about
the package.)
Regards,
Mark
