{{{
Topics:

= pro_lib = - designed to help people! If they are not helping, either something should be fixed or people do not understand how to use it.
 * attibute - self responsible.
 * do not care about initializing order.
 * good practices:
  * defaulty constructors.
  * avoid final properties.
  * push updates - instead of updating things manually, provide these things the ability to auto-update.
  * avoid trying to use unconventionally the pro_lib since this is error prone.
 * Property improper use cases:
  * accessing an AutoProperty WILL NOT invoke its compute() method!
  * resource properties:
   * create method should depend on NOTHING => it is invoked once and will not update things.
   * setup methods are designed to keep things synchronized for people. @Setup may be put to split setup things in different methods, so that they are updated in groups.
   * destroy methods are not working.
 * List properties.

= core_modularity =
 * extensions are now sortable by comparator.

= base_visual =
 == layout ==
 == menus ==
 * this is a new module to split the layout and menus from the main.view things.

= base_skins =
 * provides things to simplify things that are registered for a single skin => currently a map with (id, value) entries.

= global things  =
 * few people have a global vision about things.
  * people should get a better overall idea.
 * supercool model.
   * not only implement a great library but find a task to actually use it and also do that task.
    * this will improve the library.
    * things that are error prone will appear.
 * the "not my task/class" problem (people tend to do only things that are tracked and planned):
  * the code is owned by everyone!
  * fix things that need to fixed in order to implement you things, otherwise the next revision of the task will fail.
  * if the things are complicated to be fixed, ask the others, make discussions about it.
