Some sections of the Lumiera website document meeting minutes, discussion protocols and design proposals from the early days of the project; these pages were initially authored in the »Moin Moin Wiki« operated by Cehteh on pipapo.org at that time; this wiki backed the first publications of the »Cinelerra-3« initiative, which turned into the Lumiera project eventually. Some years later, those pages were transliterated into Asciidoc semi-automatically, resulting in a lot of broken markup and links. This is a long standing maintenance problem problem plaguing the Lumiera website, since those breakages cause a lot of warnings and flood the logs of any linkchecker run.

Scheduler and Job handling

==========================

The purpose of the _Scheduler_ is to run small self contained _Jobs_
|
|
ordered by priority and observing specific timing constraints.

About Jobs
|
|
----------
|
|
A job is a closure to run a small and limited action or operation, which
|
|
in itself _should not block_. Job may depend on each other and on resources
|
|
to be provided. A job may be rescheduled prior to invocation, but it is
|
|
activated at most once by an _Scheduler Action._
