Analysis

Overview

This task is about the base timelines support that is in the model.

Task requirements

• Timelines should somehow be provided as part of the model.
  • consider that a timelines manager will be present at some time in the future.
  • consider that timelines have different channels.
  • consider that timelines are constructed of primitives:
    • entries.
    • channels with entries.
  • provide a base class hierarchy representing the timelines.
    • it should define a timelines general structure.
    • it should define a way to control timelines generally - start, stop, pause etc. (We may have a TimelinesManager included in the TIMELINE_MANAGEMENT tasks to do these.)
    • it should provide a vision about timelines persistence.
• Provide a design diagrams backed up with explanations about the general concept.
• Notes:
  • The task is tightly connected with other tasks about timelines which will occur at iterations 4, 5 and generally 6.
  • Considering this task's effort and that other tasks that are connected will appear later:
    • Come up with general design in the model about timelines.
      • It may be slightly changed at the time other tasks appear.
      • It should be finished at the time all R0s of other tasks are completed.

Task result

• wiki page.

Implementation idea

• see other tasks in the task index that are about timelines.
• examine Sophie 1.0 timelines that are managed through the bottom flap. (see ​http://sophieproject.org/download/, ​http://sophieproject.org/tutorials, ​http://sophieproject.org/node/235 to get some ideas about the design of timelines.)
• create the wiki page and fill in the concepts and design.
