Build road-map #2

Open rbingham opened 8 years ago

rbingham commented 8 years ago

We need to determine how we are going to go about building paper-de and plan out our steps.

So, let's start by laying out the dependensies.

1) Node.js 2) Wayland 3) Do we need to focus on a specific linux distro? arch? debian? 4) Anything else?

rbingham commented 8 years ago

I agree with 1 and 2. I think that we should focus on a specific distro to start with as it will be easier to work only one distro and then work on compatibility with other distros. My vote for a distro would be arch as it's the easiest to have a minimal install.

4) We will need some sort of html renderer. I don't think that we should write that from scratch as that would be a massive pain.

Arch it is. Not sure what Sam is running though.

I would love it if we could integrate Servo as the renderer...but that is probably more than we want right now On Nov 9, 2015 6:04 PM, "rbingham" notifications@github.com wrote:

@srphillips check and see what it would take to implement servo and see how close they are to their first production release. It may be worth it if they are close to production.
