type data #9

Open ondreian opened 6 years ago

soonish, we will need to start adding type data. this should be much higher resolution that what is currently possible with lich.

ideally these files should be easily contributed to, stored in VCS, and publicly accessible. Using git to manage them with git clone & git pull would be really nice, but then requires people to have Git installed on their machine (and in their path).

It could also be the type bindings are their own Gem, with it's own release cycle, and Norn just uses it as an optional depedency.

I am however open to other ideas, so let's have a discussion about it.

As a heads up, you can use the libgit2 bindings for ruby (rugged) to operate over git repositories, without requiring git to be installed. I have used their Python bindings on a few projects before, and it makes it much easier to integrate git without the user being aware of it

Looks awesome. Much appreciated recommendation

I'm also considering ipfs for some of this stuff, it maybe more sustainable long-term
