Last few things before new PiXI version

This is mostly just a mental note for myself and a heads up about what’s going to change before the next PiXI framework version.

Remove all unnecessary code from PiXI framework
    - UI.Common
Produce base plug-in template
    - IoC
    - Spec project
    - Referenced Assemblies
    - PiXI binaries to debug against

Blog about
    - Using plug-in template
    - Creating basic task
    - Creating UI with suggestions
    - Creating service

The API should hopefully be stabilised by this version, and for all intents and purposed will be considered version 2 of the application.

PiXI project resources

You can find an introduction to the project here:

http://pixilauncher.blogspot.com/2009/11/introduction-to-pixi-project.html

Currently the source code resides in the following mercurial repositories:

http://bitbucket.org/naeem.khedarun/pixi/overview/ – Contains the base PiXI framework including the application shell.

http://bitbucket.org/naeem.khedarun/open-application-for-pixi/overview/ – Contains an example of how to write a plug-in, in this case it provides easy access to the start menu.

http://bitbucket.org/naeem.khedarun/npackagemanager/overview/ – The package management side of PiXI which is being refactored into a reusable library, although it’s still early days.

There is also the codeplex site, which whilst it doesn’t have the code anymore, is still used for discussions, bugs and hosting releases:
