PythonCAD Year Two Report

PythonCAD was first publicly released on December 21, 2002, and after one year of development a summary of the developments over that time was written. Now that another year has gone by, it is time to reflect on the changes made during the second year of PythonCAD development.

As was true in the summary regarding the first year of work, the ramblings below try to mention the good and bad points encountered while working on PythonCAD. Overall, the development efforts during the second year addressed numerous program shortcomings that existed after the first year of work was completed, and in many ways the program is becoming more and more capable as a usable drafting package. There is certainly still much work to do, and with some time and effort the work over coming year will make PythonCAD even more powerful. So, here is how I see things on January 14, 2005.

Good Points

The list below contains a few of the high points from working on PythonCAD during the course of 2004.


Bad Points

Here are a few thoughts on some of the lowlights of last year. They are not presented in any specific order ...


Onward And Upward

So with two years of development completed, where does PythonCAD go from here? Here are a few goals for the coming year. Some are holdovers from last year, and some are new

These lists are not necessarily complete, especially what is given for the goals over the coming year. When the end of 2005 comes, another summary like this may appear, and it would be nice to say that all the goals for development over the year have been met. Time will tell if that is the case.
