Hello!
Over the next few months we're going to be putting a lot of work into transforming the authoring tool behind the scenes to allow us to push forward with the next bunch of major releases we have planned (which you can view on the roadmap here).
To kick things off, I'm starting to put together a proposal document outlining the changes we're going to make, and I'd like to open up the floor to any web developers with experience modifying the tool who may have suggestions on the direction we should go in the future. This could be in the form of specific responses to my doc, new requests for how you'd like things done, or any observations in between -- all suggestions are welcome. I'd also like to hear from developers who intentionally haven't got involved for some reason, and why.
Some areas to think about:
- What works well
- What is more difficult to do than it should be
- Is there anything you'd like to do but can't with the current architecture
- Any existing code projects doing something particularly well (from an architecture point of view) that you think we could take inspiration from
You can view (and add comments to) the my proposal document here: Link to Google doc.
Also feel free to reply to this thread, and I'll collate all feedback.
Cheers,
Tom!
