Prepare design for Aikuma-NG 2.0 #128

Open Lingomat opened 8 years ago

Aikuma-NG needs to be re-written to incorporate a new design philosophy with online data syncing. The code base also needs to be transformed into a new generation of framework and tools in line with our other development projects.

What's needed is a postmortem on Aikuma-NG as it stands. What does the app do well? What is in scope? E.g. do we desire the Saymore-influenced collection management + annotation tool or should it be focused on one activity?

Side note. While there's 230-odd users on the Play store, we receive virtually no feedback. As seen by the somewhat critical issues which were recently found by Stephen Morey (and resolved).

So I'm happy to shunt development towards Aikuma-NG 2.0 and be happy we wont really be leaving people out in the cold. On the contrary, we'll be taking some of the great stuff crafted here and opening it to a wider audience. Chiefly by:

  1. Moving away from collection management.
  2. Making the app a web-app that can be easily called on source material externally.

I will probably maintain this branch for a time to test out some bleeding edge features in my fieldwork in Taiwan.
