Let user comment/review MV* frameworks?

[brillout]

Maybe it would be useful to let people write comments/reviews for a framework.
What do you guys think?

[passy]

I'm 👎 on this. I can't really see meaningful discourse emerge from this. There are too many opinions involved in the decision process and not enough scientific arguments. For bugs and improvements, we have the issue tracker, I believe this is sufficient.

I agree with @passy. It will just lead to bikeshedding and trolling. I would rather see us link more to good informed articles on the subject.

I'm on the fence about this idea ... I do think that an informed framework choice requires many different inputs. ToDoMVC does a great job of comparing implementation in a controlled environment, and some useful links that allow you to explore other aspects (StackOverfow, GitHub ...)

I can also understand why @passy and @sindresorhus are reluctant to add comments and discussion. I think that ToDoMVC does a great job of comparing app implementations and widening the remit might damage the project as a whole.

However, I have toyed around with the idea of a meta-ToDoMVC project for a long time now. This would be companion project that includes links to ToDoMVC implementations, but also adds repo stats, comments / discussion, StackOverflow stats, links to roadmap discussions etc ... You can determine all sorts of useful things from how quickly issues are resolves, how active StackOverflow discussion are.

Of course none of this is an exact art, and different communities operate in different ways. However, I would find tech useful (and fun to build!)

Although I can't see myself getting round to doing anything with this idea for the rest of this year (at least!)

[passy]

I'd be happy to launch an experiment and see how it goes. But I'm pretty sure I won't have much (or any) time that I can contribute to moderating it, which I think will be necessary.

Personally I think that for this to work, a meta-ToDoMVC needs to be a discussion forum.

Likewise, time is an issue for me ;-)
