I think we should just do a better job of documenting and explaining what NGA is. It would be nice to have a central place to go where people can learn about the app architecture as well as get links to all the related JS libraries we have developed like ServiceWorkerWare, Bridge.js, etc.
Also, if contributors are more aware of NGA, it is actually clearer and less verbose to just say “NGA” versus “separation of view logic”, which is actually somewhat vague. Pretty much every good app architecture involves “separation of view logic” and the migration to NGA is much more than just separating view logic. Another way to look at it is, if we were migrating apps to an existing 3rd-party framework like Angular or React, we would likely be referencing the framework/architecture by its name when we talk about it. I just think if we had better documentation to call out what NGA is, this would be a non-issue. Perhaps once we get together to recap the NGA work from v2.5, we can talk about putting together a simple GH-pages website with documentation, libraries and a downloadable skeleton project for building new “NGA” apps. -Justin > On Nov 2, 2015, at 8:16 PM, Tim Guan-tin Chien <[email protected]> wrote: > > I would like to know what David and Vivien think. > > On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 12:11 AM, Candice Serran <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > Agreed...the team working on the entire NGA program will be conducting a > retrospective and plan forward next week (Nov 9-Nov 13).
