added "logo", I've been doodling, and normally I got an idea pretty fast, but Geppetto's hard IMO.
re: promises: probably it should be an extension which plugs in easily. -> added "extensibility"
Logos are fun! Can you post the idea somewhere?
An impoverished woodcarver who fathers a puppet... Piece of cake! I'd say the core of the idea is "bringing something to life".
Also, I see you work on Robotlegs... Can I just say that I am so happy to have the ActionScript community bringing their ideas to JavaScript :) I know it was tough for some, but it will pay off! On Sep 13, 2014 8:10 AM, "creynders" notifications@github.com wrote:

Re logo: "In the Disney animated film, Geppetto is introduced as a woodworker finishing Pinocchio. Before falling asleep, Geppetto makes a wish on a falling star http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid that Pinocchio come to life. During the night, the Blue Fairy grants Geppetto's wish."
A falling star is sort of a beautiful idea...
@howardroark no ideas/millions of ideas. Feel free to give it a try! A falling star could be great!
Sadly I am more of an idea guy... zero practice with any of the tools.
If it were framed in a square... a silhouette of a tree line at the bottom with a lit up sky and some stars behind a bright meteor falling down to earth... could look slick with the right person at work.
See this: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid#/image/File:Leonid_Meteor.jpg
The geometric patterns within the light of the falling star itself could be captured in vector shapes and evolved.
That's all I got!
I don't pretend ot be the right person for this, but here's something that might look like what you describe...
A shooting star going up might give a more positive impression than one that seems to be crashing on earth...
Of course, a shooting star would never look like that, but it's an artist's rendition and it's more striking than a real one IMO
I don't know if a character looking at the star is wanted(and it's Pinocchio, not Geppetto...).
Anyway, just trying to put some flesh on the bone. Took a few minutes. If no one likes this, don't worry. I won't be offended!
Hah, Awesome go! The kid in me really likes this concept. Though a logo has to be multi-purpose and vector based to work well on the web. Gotta think how it will look in all different sizes, how it will look on white vs black, tshirts etc...
Also philosophically I am going to say that the idea is about making Pinocchio. Geppetto is the man who did it! The coming to life part was some other magic force, maybe it is a subconscious metaphor for AI. Who knows! Maybe Pinocchio could wish upon himself to be made and come to life, but at that point we are getting into deep theological debate ;)
@mmikeyy thanks for the inspiration. @howardroark 's right though, a logo has a number of requirements and being vector-based is one of the foremost.
Yep.. I understand... I just tried to turn his words into an image somehow. As I said, I'm not the right person for this. Not much of an artist, and not the right tools!
It really makes you appreciate the folks who can create beautiful design and build good UI. I need to encourage more of those people in the advertising world! Too many designers have no idea how the browser actually works. If they did we could have more of them on GitHub making logos for features ;)
added
allow wiring an object to multiple keys at once with wire*(['a', 'b'], Foo);
added
Backbone.migrate
module for backwards compatibility and migration of existing applications to Geppetto.
as discussed in #75
added v0.7.2 roadmap
@creynders thanks for taking charge here. I'm psyched for 1.0! We're soon going to be welcoming another kid into our family, so it's unlikely I'll have the time or the brainpower to contribute much for awhile. But as always, feel free to do what you feel is best for the project. Thanks!
@Geekdave congratz!! Sleepless nights coming your way ;)
Saw this come up in my feed... Best wishes from an anonymous GitHub user @geekdave :)
@geekdave There's just one thing I'd like a simple aye/nay/meh answer for: the logo.
So maybe it's time to set up a roadmap for v1.0?
What's on my wishlist for Geppetto:
v0.7.2
methods**. ATM it's only possible to pass an object containing wiring, but I'd like to extend this to include
contextEvents`wire*(['a', 'b'], Foo);
wireFactory
v0.8
Error
sbindContext
. I don't think it's necessary any more ? Or move it to an instance method. Or dissolve it into view constructors or so.target
parameter inlisten
really necessary?Backbone.migrate
