</div>I'd only add to this "release early - release often" which does not<br>
equal to "release crap", but "get something working fast, and then<br>
build on it" :)<br></blockquote><div><br>Sounds good to me :) I'm still digging through the DBus docs, but in the mean time I got something *really* basic working... it's just a download results previewer. For now it lives at: git://<a href="http://gitorious.org/quotebackend/quotebackend.git">gitorious.org/quotebackend/quotebackend.git</a><br>
<br>To start with, I'm getting hung up on what's the best way to download stuff. That code uses KIO Jobs, but, it just doesn't "feel right." I could very well be doing something dumb. Maybe not initially, but eventually, I'd like to be able to support parallel downloads as well as not lock-up/block anything else. But I don't know how to do that..? Also, has there been a firm decision either way on alkimia being strictly Qt? One alternative to KIO I'm considering is QNetworkAccessManager and friends, as mentioned in the Qt docs under Network Examples, but I haven't gotten the time yet to play around with that stuff...<br>

<br>
In this particular case, I'd concentrate on getting the prices right,<br>
and any other data you can get "for free", and then you can build on<br>
it.<br></blockquote><div> <br>I'm a little confused by what you mean by "right." I'm taking it to mean the price-algorithms are logically verified? Pretty much all the code I have related to that stuff was literally the first C++ code I ever wrote, so needless to say, it all needs to be rewritten. But this time I've been through it once, so hopefully I learned at least a few lessons... :) For instance, storing the most recent close at index 0 makes life hella easier... I still need to write the code to make sure, but, I think I at least got the math all worked out and verified for the time conversion and adjusted prices algorithms.<br>
<br>I think what I'm most uncomfortable with would be creating code not controlled by a UI, so at least personally, I'm thinking my next step is to split up that previewer UI from the 'core' into two programs, and get the same functionality working over DBus. Any thoughts on that?<br>
<br>Also, is there any way I could maybe get a
consensus on whether or not "the powers that be" would ever allow
TA-Lib to eventually be integrated into this? The reason I ask is
because it seems to me to determine whether I use std arrays or QLists for storing
prices. QLists are obviously more convenient/less bookkeeping, but, they also don't work
with TA-Lib. At least not without copying all the data first, which I
suppose isn't the end of the world. Any strong opinions either way?<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
