Development Sub-Topics

Usability :
- improvements to jcom.UI
- jcom.parameterUI
- work on presets and preset interface
- possibility to give an OSC name to a module while being developed

Stability :
- The development of a system to run automated tests. This will enable the whole system to be tested when anyone makes changes to the code, so we find out about problems quickly and vastly improve the quality control of Jamoma. This system will created in a combination of environments, but most of the work is actually creating Max patches to run the individual tests.
- Straightening out the structure(s) of TTBlue? and Jamoma, and making the relationship one that is well defined and clear. This is particularly true in the areas of the ramplib and functionlib.
- Map out the asychrony involved in the subscription and initialization processes in Jamoma.  Can we make this less convoluted?  Has anything changed with regard to patcher instantiation order in Max 5?
- If there is time, it would be nice to do some profiling and optimization work. Part of this will require people to create a Jamoma-based patchers and run a bunch of tests on them.
