Things To Do

It’s been a while since I’ve had some time to work on Hu, so I haven’t been able to outline very much of what I want to do. Here’s what’s on the horizon:

- Save hu-notes.txt with a prettier, indented format. At the moment, it’s a bit more XML-ish, but it’s flat — there’s no indentation for different levels of the hierarchy. As a result, hu-notes.txt isn’t super-readable.
- Make it easer to add/remove plugins. At the moment, you have to put the folder in the `hu` directory and then import it from within `hu.py`. This isn’t so great. My plan is to have hu say at startup “OK, get me the names of all of the directories in my directory starting with ‘hu_’, and import those.” That way, a user only has to put the plugin folder inside the `hu` directory to add a plugin. Similarly, all they have to do to remove a plugin is delete the plugin’s folder or rename it to something that doesn’t start with “hu_”.

Those are my two short-term goals. It’s a roadmap. Sort of. It’s more like that bit in Wallace & Gromit where Gromit’s putting down the railway track as he goes.
