Discussed topics:

Generated DoneJS app & plugin file structure:

• This shouldn’t be a breaking change so it can be considered for DoneJS 1.1
• Tabling the discussion so we can collect feedback from the community

Potential performance improvements:

• Publish events when globals like window or document change and rebuild code
• Implement minimal “inner” diff technique
• Use Observations instead of computes
• Support event delegation
• All of these will be considered after CanJS 3.5 and DoneJS 1.0 are released

DoneJS 2.0 release:

• PWA: maybe built in, maybe as a generator
• can-connect: improve behaviors and make it easier to build custom ones
• can-set: make it easier to create custom set algebras
• Smaller production loader: if you don’t need the dynamic features of Steal in production, you shouldn’t have to load all of Steal
• Additional ideas: Chrome extension, hitting 1.0 for DocumentJS and Testee, donejs-upgrade?, FuncUnit 4
