Very exciting! Where are the extensibility hooks documented? I don't see that in the documentation anywhere.
That is the part that still needs to be documented ...
I don't see how we can do the mini-review until that part is documented. After all, Phoenix was accepted only pending the mini-review primarily because it needed those extensibility hooks.
It is my understanding that the extension does will be ready by the time we have the mini review. If not, then I have to agree with Eric and postpone the review. The extension mechanism is a crucial part of Phoenix and one that sets it apart from Lambda. We should not diminish its role.
I fully agree. Thomas promised to have the docs finished by then. We decided to be rather aggressive in terms of scheduling a) as we recognize the need for having Phoenix available asap, and b) to put some pressure onto Thomas :-P
Fully complete docs would be awesome. Short of that, how about shooting for just giving people enough to talk about? A brief description of the directions in which Phoenix can be extended and some code examples demonstrating what it would look like. I think that would be enough to give the idea and let the review proceed.
Thomas and I understand that if the docs won't be ready we will have to cancel the mini-review.
Say "reschedule", not "cancel". :-) And thanks for all your hard work, Thomas.
I second that. Thomas, you are our hero! Hartmut, thank you too for managing the continuing Phoenix review! Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
