Civil Engineer (although no one ever knows what that is...) and collector of interesting skills living in Guildford, Surrey (in the UK). Currently 26 years of age, reasonably well travelled and always looking to do something constructive in what little spare time I collect, although I wouldn't say no to a drink.

Drop me a line if you want to know more.

CalcPad currently has a somewhat lax approach to the jargon used both within the code and the interface itself. This needs to be clarified into set descriptors to prevent confusion for users and developers alike, and also to make it easier to design in new aspects.
Although CalcPad currently has a clear distinction between Model, View and Controller key aspects of the program workings are done within the Qt/Gui modules. This will prevent later changes to the GUI widget system.
As CalcPad matures it is going to need to be cross-platform and portable. Although Qt4 is cross-platform, it is far from portable, and in actuality getting Qt4 on to a windows system is a significant hurdle.
For future expansion it will be easier if the Qt4 MVC implementation required on a few standard functions of the CalcPad object types. This would mean that these need only be implemented for a new type (for example Tables,) to be added and would save reordering the code for every additional feature.
