You can view an initial draft of the rewrite here: http://ezyang.com/twisted/defer2.html For reference, this is the planned outline (X means done, ? means almost done): X Synchronous to Asynchronous: The Method to the Madness X Convert synchronous code to asynchronous code X Why asynchronous? - Deferred X Basic operation - Convenience primitives (succeed, fail, execute, maybeDeferred) ? Callback/Errback chaining - Timeouts - Composing deferreds - DeferredList/gatherResults - chainDeferred - Advanced topics - Deferred asynchronous primitives - Sugar syntax Cheers, Edward P.S.
