List of features planned for Silme 0.7

- Improve the quality of output of several silme based tools
- Consider shortening API names
- Initial time-line
- Free hacking!
- Sections support for l10nobjects
- Processing external entities
- L10nObjectDiff.get_entity() should be less time consuming (better not to do get_entitylistdiff which does get_entities to get one single entity...)
- Support plural forms for Gettext
- June 5 - data structure freeze
- (much) Shorter names for classes, methods and method arguments needed. We should create a naming convention for that, probably. Brainstorming page with proposals.
- Extend L10nPackage.get_entities to be able to get list in form of [Entity, internal_path] (or add get_entities_with_path)
- June 15 - API freeze
- HTML serializerier for silme.diff objects
- Add user interaction options for clean_obsolete script
- Add silme.format.mozlang (stas)

Bugzilla
Feature Summary
- Support for plurals
- Feature explanation: Add support for entities requiring plural forms in silme.core
- Bug 496359 tracks the progress on this feature.
- Both gettext and l20n have support for plural forms
- Presently, Silme is pretty specific to gettext, and we want to migrate it closer to l20n one day
- Feature explanation: Add support for entities requiring plural forms in silme.core
- Get a flat list of entities from a structure
- Feature explanation: Present a flat list of untranslated entities as output, instead of the nested package structure
- When asking for untranslated entities in a flat list, Silme will now return a list of pairs: entity *with* the path
- Using the path, you can write back to the proper place in the structure
- End-user can work on entity-list without having to dig through structure
- This will be used by Koala project
- Bug 497196 tracks Silme's ability for L10nPackage.get_entities to return entities with paths
- Bug 496372 provides the entity list of untranslated strings
- Feature explanation: Present a flat list of untranslated entities as output, instead of the nested package structure
- Simplification of the API
- Feature explanation: Rename Silme's long method and class names with shorter names
- Made class names shorter when possible
- Bug 498915 tracks this progress
- Processing
- Feature explanation: Process entities so that processed value of an entity is provided in place of the source name
- DTD files are loaded with variables like "%sBrandShortName"
- Take entity, process it, and not return the source name of the entity, but the "processed" value
- Silme users then can see the actual structure of the sentence
- Split to repositories
- Silme Library
- Silme Scripts
- Easier to package in easy_install
- Maintain the library code
- Does rely on any script
- Extended l20n format serializer
- Feature explanation: Write l20n files with Silme
- Bug 499145 tracks this feature
- Feature explanation: Write l20n files with Silme
- HTML diff output
- Feature explanation: With this feature, we plan to add an HTML format serializer for silme.diff.* to Silme so we can present diffs generated from Silme's compare-locales in HTML format
- Bug 491715
- Clean obsolete scripts
- Feature explanation: This feature will allow obsolete entities within a localization to be removed using a Silme command.
- Bug 500339 tracks this progress.
