Pyogp/Roadmap

Meta Issues

1. Update and maintain the published docs at:
   1. pWiki Pyogp Tech Overview
2. we need to spend time improving unit test coverage very soon
3. we need to use pylint to help clean up pyogp
4. we need to come up with pyogp specific coding guidelines
   1. wiki page indicating style, naming conventions, docstring standards, and examples of adding code (in the lib context)

Functional Changes

1. Raise an application event when disconnected
2. add application events throughout, they are sparse and easy to add
3. Messaging changes

      1. incorporate message.xml handling
   2. remove packets.py and refactor accordingly (Done)
   3. Merge UPDPacket and Message (Done)
   4. merge packet_handler and event_queue_handler (Done)
   5. fix http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/PYO-62 (kotler) (Done)
4. update the event handler (Done)
   1. create a generic event message class with name and payload (Done)
   2. add convenience methods (e.g. to_llsd(), to_dict())

2. create something akin to libomv's TestClient
