Encouraging contributions:

• Make a contribution guide for DoneJS

• Use “easy” and “help wanted” labels for issues
• Change Waffle board to use “help wanted” instead of “ready”
• Idea: link to these searches in the community update blog posts to encourage contributions
• Draft contributing.md for the DoneJS repo
• Draft contributing.md for donejs-firebase
• Generate a contributing.md file in generator-donejs
• Add issue & pull request templates

A better console for --develop

• @matthewp build an awesome prototype
• done-serve --develop --ui curses
• Ideas:
• Make it the default for done-serve (once it’s stable)
• Hide it behind a flag (like the prototype)
• Make it a separate project

Remove can-connect/tag from guides:

• Summary of our discussion
• Update Chat and Chat Guide to not use can-connect/can/tag
• Update PMO and the PMO Guide to not use can-connect/can/tag

Split up generator-donejs:

• Pros: makes each generator more maintainable, faster install times, etc.
• Cons: dev time to split up the generator, not installing “everything” when creating a new app, etc.
• We’ll discuss this further for a post-DoneJS 1.0 release
