Google Summer of Code 2017

Submit a proposal of cloud filesystems as plugins.

 

Yves: proposal should be tailored to volunteers that are skilled but not asked to do work that is overly complicated or architecturally based. Consensus is to choose something from Milestone 2.  Joomla 4 vs Joomla 3.8. Ask the student to fix all of the to-do’s in the code, one possibility. Over the next week, the team will review the milestones for Joomla 4, then next week bring to the meeting their ideas about what the highest priority items are. The proposal will be centered around this highest priority milestone. The roadmap for Joomla 4 is laid out here: https://github.com/joomla-projects/media-manager-improvement/wiki

 

PLT vue.js feedback

• Why - The PLT team has expressed concern about whether or not we should use this code and integrate it into the core. There is nervousness amongst the team because of the issues that have arisen from the dependencies created when Joomla moved into integrating Bootstrap 2. Draft a storyline / report that introduces Vue.js to the team, one that addresses the following ideas:

  • Why do we need it and what does it bring us in the new media manager?

  • Advantages - the code and its effect would be contained within the media manager. Would be uninstalled if you uninstalled the media component.

  • Are there knowledgeable people for maintenance over time?

  • Who will be responsible for handling maintenance of vue.js library?

  • Implication for usage all over core?

  • IE8 / Backwards Compatibility

David and Dimitris have agreed to formulate a document to address the reason why we should use vue.js. They have the most experience with the framework. Dimitris suggested that Custom Elements may become a goal for Joomla 4. This has not been approved, but is under discussion across teams. Vue.js would make the project much more easy to realize. Javascript would work, but vue.js would be a more streamlined and efficient tool for completing the job. This means that there is more opportunity for cross collaboration across projects.
