I don't actually mind either way - unfortunately I'm unlikely to be
contributing a lot to this a long the other way other than throwing in
my 2c, but we'll see :)
There are pros and cons.... the upside of starting over is that it is
probably faster overall and you can set up some guidelines to stick to
throughout (like style of testing, use of libraries), but on the other
hand its much longer before anything usable comes out of it. Perhaps
if we take the approach of moving much of the functionality to plugins
we could have a functional, distributed builder core up more quickly.
If we use your approach, it would be good to decide all modules and
architecture components before to start so we'll can create an issue
for
each and follow easily the progress.
I think either way that's a good idea, and particularly to have a
vision for what it's focus is going to be. Is this just about cleaning
up the internals, or is it to change the way Continuum works?
