Gaphor is missing quite a lot of features to be called a usable UML editor … yet. Nevertheless I tried it. If you know how not to hate a work in progress, because you know people with passion are working on it, the tool is definitely worth a try.
You know … I just had such a moment where one little dude in my head nearly starved caused by the ultra high doses of code that I injected through my eyes straight into my brain. My Amygdala got emotionally worried and understood the problem immediately, so she (eu .. or he) started instructing my hormone factories to start making drugs so that I started to want to create a class diagram (you know, in stead of coding).
Yes, I realize I’m quite crazy if that happens.
But don’t worry, we are under control. Just a little bit intoxicated. Usually that doesn’t turn the individual into a virus writing terrorist. Although last few years you didn’t have to be guilty for it to happen, just a non-Western person, you don’t have to send a CIA plane to Belgium to pick me up yet. Trust me, I’m not dangerous. And hey, Belgium, the city in Brussels, is a Western country! I’m a Western! Don’t! I mean, com’n, Belgians are adorable. We make beer and chocolate! I can’t be guilty!
I don’t know what the diagram really is about. I just starting drawing some stuff because .. well I already explained. It turned out it looks like how you could design a mail user agent on top of tinymail. Because Gaphor is missing a lot of features, it’s missing a lot information.
Also, I stopped drawing because at this size, Gaphor started becoming slow on my dual p4 with 2 GB of RAM (that’s just amazing, how on earth do you get drawing ~25 rectangles to be slow on THAT machine?! People could go to Mars with far less! — bah, unfair comparison. I know –)
If you want it in Gaphor’s format, I will most likely create a wiki page on tinymail’s trac once it’s finished.
