Google Summer of Code: Home Stretch

I've got a good deal of work to do on Catalyst::Helpers, so here's a bit of a list on what's coming in the future:

• beat up MooseX::GetOpt add GetOpt::Long functionality

• Trivially moosify Helper.pm and co.

• Hack Makefile.PL of Catalyst dev so that if file::sharedir is installed then it deletes the dist-dir as you do make install

• disallow invalid catalyst project names

• modification of existing code, ie:

  script/myapp_auth.pl --update dsn=dbi:Pg:dbname=hlagh

  , etc.

• TT generation like TTSite with less suck

• Reaction-esque skinning, with a helper. Also, canned skins for download.

• create a default end ActionClass per application

• --minimal option to create bare minimum Catalyst app code (example, for inline test applications)

• make everything less fugly so people can sanely use it (ie, without tearing their eyes out of their sockets)

• create with a given set of modules, ie:

  script/myappcreate.pl local::lib AppName, script/myappcreate.pl MySet::Of::Modules

• "support any sad fool who tried to CPAN something using the old API"

Stay tuned, this list is growing.
