Todays Changes

Hi,

Today I would like to separate the scheduler from Turbine so that
a scheduled job is not a module. I think it's in our best interest
to consider modules strictly as part of the view pipeline. Plus I
think the scheduler has to be decoupled from Turbine.

The other thing I want to do is remove the use of ECS from the
view pipeline all together. We discussed this briefly a while
back and I think everyone was in agreement except Jon.

Jon, are you still against removing ECS from all the modules?

I don't think we need ECS in there at all. In almost all
cases in the view pipeline we're just doing Element.toString()
type actions anyway so I don't see the point in using ECS if
we're just asking for Strings anyway. I think everything should
be moved into templates. Requiring the use of ECS to alter the
content of a page is also not very MVC IMO.

Anyway these are the two things that I would like to work on
today. I'll wait a while for response on the ECS issue, but I'll
get started on separating the scheduler out.

Ok, I think I can do that :-) I think I have it worked out, I'll
blow it by the list before I commit.

I am in agreement if you can figure out a way to do it properly and have
everything continue to work. :-)
