To Do List

Mitch Watrous is working on the following modular build-related items:

  1. Make python examples not be run if they have unbuilt dependencies. (This requires creation of waf build log file.)
  2. Make C++ examples with unbuilt dependencies not be run. (This also requires creation of waf build log file.)
  3. Update documentation: fix module paths.
  4. Update documentation: how to use the configuration (.ns3rc) file

Documentation updates are planned:

  1. Update project documentation for modular build changes (Mitch Watrous)
  2. Split existing manual to a "developers manual" and a "model library" manual
  3. Remove "testing" document; move pieces to developers manual and model library manual
  4. Add python page to manual
  5. Remove duplicate doxygen documentation
  6. Create module template that can be easily cloned
  7. Create datasheet for ns-3
  8. Create cheatsheet(s) for ns-3
  9. Write down duties of release manager somewhere

Coding style update is being considered.
