Roadmap

Cyclone Winds Roadmap

This is a Roadmap for Cyclone Winds development and packaging planning. Please feel free to contribute.

Package or internal?

• Fully support SRFI-89 for optional parameters.

C bindings:

• libcurl [IN PROGRESS - Justin Ethier]
• SQLite3 (see Chibi's implementation)
• [SSL from CHICKEN] (https://code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/release/5/openssl/trunk/openssl.scm) - if too complex port at least from Chibi

Scheme ports

• PostgreSQL
• Filesystem utilities like the ones from Chibi or CHICKEN
• SSQL (See Chibis sqlite3 source code and search for "ssql->sql" or CHICKEN's implementation) - [GAVE UP - Arthur Maciel 02/2020 - ssql from chibi can't handle JOINs and ssql from CHICKEN uses 'define-for-syntax' which couldn't be substituted AFAIK in Cyclone)
• PDF library
• Logging library - seek inspiration on Python?

Ports specifically from Chibi (in order of priority):

• quoted printable
• base64
• mime
• scribble / docs / chibi-doc

TBD for Cyclone Winds itself:

• ask whether to reinstall already installed dependencies
• support package version
• create a complementary and more informative index
• automate package statistics generation (like data to create a dependency graph?)
• parallelize package installs?
