I have another one to add to the fun list. This one is even easier, and more useful. We want to move to Errai JSON for all configuration formats. Errai JSON provides seamless object marshalling in the client and the server. So your json string in the browser isn't just eval( jsonString ), errai marshals that string back into objects. So a tree based editor for Errai JSON would be great. Ideally it would driven by the data model, to provide suggestion and validation.

Oh and have a new entry. While we have nice Drag and Drop with docked layouts, we need a grid/tile layout too. The grid/tile layout manager would probably be the easiest for someone to get into, as it's a pure UF task, no rules experience needed.

  • Audit Viewer
    • Also migrate to support ErraiJSon, instead of our XStream dump, for seamless client and server marshalling.
  • Rete Viewer
    • The ReteViewer should be ported to svg/gwt, again using ErraiJSon to provide the tree format.
  • Grid/Tile layout manager for panels.

Sorry ann
Sorry anujg we missed you. Best to use someone's nick in the text, otherwise they don't get a notification. Add "conan, porcelli and manstis" as nicks to mention. You can also chase us up with emails, so we can do follow ups if we miss you.

If anyone wants to get involved in a fun task, we would like to get two existing components ported from SWT to SVG/GWT. So that those components can be used in the UberFire project - our new web based workbench.

  • Rete Viewer

The above two also have an endless list of features that could be added, to make them more useful - especially the Audit Viewer. With more continuous work the AuditViewer can really help us to improve runtime diagnostics.

UberFire is not officially alpha launched yet, so it needs some cleaning and some docs up before we make it wider known. Although I did mention it here with screenshots and a video (link towards end):

If you want to get involved,  come onto irc and we'll talk you through getting started. UberFire really is a very cool project, it's completely standalone from Drools&jBPM, and a good project to be involved in, as you can use it for your own workbench projects.

Just ask for manstis or porcelli (irc nicks)
