Hello, folks!
Following Drago Rosson's introduction of Barricade.js and our
discussion in ML about possibility of using it in Merlin [1], I've
decided to change the plans for PoC: now the goal for Merlin's PoC is
to implement Mistral Workbook builder on top of Barricade.js. The
reasons for that are:
* To better understand Barricade.js potential as data abstraction
layer in Merlin, I need to learn much more about its possibilities and
limitations than simple examining/reviewing of its source code allows.
The best way to do this is by building upon it.
* It's becoming too crowded in the HOT builder's sandbox - doing the
same work as Drago currently does [2] seems like a waste of resources
to me (especially in case he'll opensource his HOT builder someday
just as he did with Barricade.js).
Drago, it would be to everyone's benefit if your HOT builder efforts
were developed on a public git repository, no matter how functional it
is currently.
Is there any chance you can publish what you're working on to
https://github.com/dragorosson or rackerlabs for a start?
* Why Mistral and not Murano or Solum? Because Mistral's YAML
templates have simpler structure than Murano's ones do and is better
defined at that moment than the ones in Solum.
There already some commits in https://github.com/stackforge/merlin and
since client-side app doesn't talk to the Mistral's server yet, it is
pretty easy to run it (just follow the instructions in README.md) and
then see it in browser at http://localhost:8080. UI is yet not great,
as the current focus is data abstraction layer exploration, i.e. how
to exploit Barricade.js capabilities to reflect all relations between
Mistral's entities. I hope to finish the minimal set of features in a
few weeks - and will certainly announce it in the ML.
