Currently, the openstreetmap-website is both responsible for the openstreetmap.org web application, and for the API. How hard would it be to separate these two functions, perhaps even into two projects? Would there be any advantages in doing so? Intuitively both functions seem to be separate projects. I could imagine having two smaller applications might make maintenance easier. It would also mean we could, for example phase Ruby out for the app but not for the api or vice versa. Lastly, making the website make only use of well-defined api endpoints instead of interface with the database directly might also makes things clearer. Have there been any thoughts in this direction? -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
