RE: [vtp-dev] Voice Tools Project feature wishlist
|
I
mainly have 2 comments,
First,
if the is targeted at "IRV" folks, I would think that we would want to move in a
direction that
abstracts VXML, CCXML and GRXML. Allow application builders to deal
in the logical and not the specifics of a particular
xml
language. I posted a comment to this effect some time ago
on the eclipse.technology.voicetools news
group.
Debugging VXML is awful and painful.
Second, at present the existing tools are independent plugins (that is my
understanding). It seems that there is a need for a "project" concept
for the tools to fit into to allow the tools to integrate and work
together. If I were writing ccxml and I wanted to invoke a vxml dialog
you would be nice if there was a pre-populated list of available dialogs
and etc. Not a great example but illustrates the
point.
As you
abstract from the markup this becomes more necessary. Some tools
will likely be adjunct views that will be opened
when
needed in a particular perspective, though it seems other views, especially ones
use in creating an application
would
best be grouped into a perspective that worked on a project with a particular
nature.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks to everyone who participated in our call this morning. I hope it
gave everyone a clearer perspective on what the state of the project is and
where it needs your help. For those who were unable to make it I took some
notes and will post them to the Voice Tools Project newsgroup
(news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.technology.voicetools) in the next day or
so.
Per our discussion earlier
today here is a simple spreadsheet of proposed features that could be put into
an initial release's project plan for the Voice Tools Project. I kept my
contributions to the list relatively modest to leave a lot of room for fresh
perspectives. Add any additional function you believe should be in an initial
release and a column identifying you with X's for which functions you would
like to see prioritized. When you've made your changes just post it back to
the list. I would strongly encourage you to think from both the perspective of
users using the tools and companies extending the tools for their own products
when considering what you would like to see.
