Roadmap: 0.4

Important Issues

• Build importer to scrape DOM's to populate object database
• Allow editors for plugins, provided by authors of plugins
• Remap UI to focus on webpage+timeline combination

Tasks

Remap UI

• Show target webpage with minizable timeline overlay

Wizard

• Provide wizard to start user's Butter experience
• Ask user to start new project, or open old one
• User provides media url and target webpage url

Build Importer

• Populate object database by scraping DOM of target webpage
• Users can add/remove objects from database by interacting directly with the page

Timeline

• Make the timeline zoomable to let users navigate their projects with more or less granularity: #26

Plugins

• Editing plugin events in Butter occurs through an interface which uses only textboxes for input
• Some specialization and the progress of Popcorn Bug #461 will let Butter present a contextualized interface to the user. This will allow users to do things like resize images by dragging corners of a preview thumbnail, navigate a googlemap to find the desired location with specific view settings, etc.
• Plugin authors can supply a plugin specifically for Butter as well in the form of some html which will use an API exposed for editing plugin events

Release

• July 7
