General
Raphi has a lot of time in the next 6 months to work on it. He is not yet connected to the workflow we have defined in the past few months. It's important to define how to work together effectively.
The most important three aspects for Raphi are:
- making the project open source
- providing an easy pathway for developers to join project
- do a proper security audit/fix
- make the frontend nice and modern
Backend framework
We discussed which framework for the backend to use out of symfony components, phalcon, or no framework (the status quo).
At the Berlin hackathon last year we (Matthias, Nick, and Adrean) looked into symfony components and it seemed a promising approach. Some initial work was done in a branch to explore this option. It has a nice incremental approach.
Raphi has been using phalcon already and so this would enable faster development speed. He does not have experience with symfony yet.
Nick thinks symfony is more widespread and that is important for developer adoption after Raphi's 6 months is over and his contributions will reduce.
Outcome: will focus on frontend first, will look into symfony
