..this collection of ideas, terms and conclusions has been shaped
since some time within the TiddlyWiki. Since I've now started even
some supporting implementation regarding these concepts, its time
to publish them in the design documentation section of the Website
This page gives the rationale for the way our diff framework is built.
This reasoning might *reduce* the relevance of any decisions
regarding the implementation data structure and thus lead to
far reaching consequences for the whole architecture.
Introduce the new term "Fork" at various relevant places
within the documentation. We do not entirely purge the
term "track" though; rather we
- make clear that "Fork" is the entity to build tracks
- use "fork" also synonymous to the "tree of tracks"
a long standing TODO to document the actual start-up sequence, which
is implemented this way since a long time now. There was an unwritten
section in the "Linking and Application Structure", which seems the
apropriate place for this kind of intricate techincal details.
Last week, Benny Lyons was here on visit in munich and he was pondering
the idea of an experimental secondary build system, as a way to learn
more about the source structure of Lumiera. This reminded me to fill
some missing parts of the documentation. Possibly this is also the
right moment to land the GTK-3 transition?
TODO: Backend, needs just a little more, not much, e.g.:
Area where low-level memory, hardware i/o, etc occur => here
is where real gain in efficiency through modern algorithms can occur,
thus, achieving another goal of Lumiera: efficient & runs on all kinds
of hardware!
this is the entry point into the section holding the various
design documents -- we try to separatte conceptual/design
from the actual technical documentation
These pages from the TiddlyWiky feature a complete glossary

architecural decisions related to this topic
