Open Stack

Hi there!

Well, the first thing we need is other reviewers, which is the fastest way
to become a core :). The project page right now is the README.md file in
the project itself. The main reason for this is that the target audience -
javascript engineers - usually find that first via NPM. Most of the Todo
items there have already been done, actually, so the next step would be to
really identify what this project needs to accomplish, group it into major
categories, and start working on it. Off the top of my head, here's a list:


   1. Dependency synchronization: Keep a list of semver
   global-dependencies.json at the root of the project, and update a project's
   dependencies if the versions are out of sync.
   2. Eslint invocation. Infra's Common Testing Interface states that all
   javascript projects must support 'npm run lint', using
   eslint-config-openstack. The generator should add/update this to any
   project it's run in.
   3. nsp invocation. Not strictly necessary, but a postinstall scan of the
   project for publicly known vulnerabilities is always a good thing.

After these pieces, the next step becomes more complicated, as we need to
choose whether the user is creating a web application, or a node
application. This then allows us to switch out which test harness and
runner we're using, so that the `npm test` command can be consistent. Once
this lands, we can start talking about project src/dist directories, how to
best use gulp in each project type, and actual project templates :).

Is there something in particular you'd like to work on?

Michael
