DoneJS Contributors Meeting – 2017-01-06

[chasen]

Rough meeting notes:

Attendees: @Bajix @chasen @cherif_b @imjoshdean @justinbmeyer @Macrofig @matthewp @pYr0x

Discussed topics:

Removing @index and @key:

• How should we handle this breaking change?
• Start a major branch for breaking changes; we’ll coalesce all of them into a can-stache 4.0 release
• There’s already a deprecation warning for those two keys
• We’ll eventually figure out how we want to handle new major versions of CanJS
  – Maybe coalesce multiple breaking changes in different modules into one major CanJS release
  – Maybe release new major versions every ~6 months

tag registration:

• General consensus on moving forward with the proposal

@Nothing_New’s issues:

• Available for someone to pick up:
  – can-view-import error reporting
  – can-import can-tag fails silently when tag does not exist
• Already fixed Development mode doesn’t package players in players page

can-define mixin behaviors:

• Kinda similar to can-connect’s behaviors
• This is one proposal; still looking for better solutions

Linting DoneJS components:

• Josh’s module helps you lint .js and .component files

Node versions poll:

• Most people are on a recent version or would not have a difficult time upgrading
• Current strategy: support Node 4, 6, 7 for now; wait until we have issues with 4 before making a decision about dropping it
