Rough meeting notes:

Attendees: @chasen @cherif_b @justinbmeyer @kdillon @m-mujica @matthewp @phillipskevin @prashantsharmain @pYr0x

Discussed topics:

DocumentJS & bit-docs

• Not sure when Bitovi will be able to put in effort
• bit-docs has a better architecture because it uses npm for its plugin system and it works well with static assets
• We need someone to champion these projects

Proposal: Flesh out .extend ability for components:

• Open for someone to implement the minimum case: extending a component (without <super> or any other new APIs)
• Not a priority for the core team

How would decorators work with fields and get/set?:

• Ideally, classes and decorators will work well with our projects, like can-define
• Public Class Fields Proposal referred @justinbmeyer to the Decorators Proposal
• Next steps: @justinbmeyer will pursue discussion with the Decorators Proposal

DoneJS Chicago — Filesystem navigator

• Meetup on Thursday, February 16
• JS Bin: http://jsbin.com/buyeqop/edit?html,css,output

Remove the need for the service-base-url module

• Remove the awkward service-base-url.js configuration in this step of the Place My Order guide
• Related issues:
• Use serviceBaseURL in models
• Model generator should set serviceBaseURL if necessary
• App generator should create a configuration module

Improvement to can-util/js/assign/:

• Good to match Object.assign’s behavior
• PR needs a test
• @justinbmeyer will follow up with what’s breaking

Getting DoneJS 1.0 out the door:

• DoneJS 1.0 Release Epic
• ZenHub
• Unassigned issues in that epic are up for grabs, but anyone can chat with the core team to find issues to work on
