Overview

This document is a plan for engineering a sustainable platform for SUMO. The goals are:

  • Evaluate the updated Tiki platform for suitability as a codebase that can continue to grow and improve with SUMO and with other projects using it for support
  • Improve SUMO code platform quality to
    • Increase robustness and performance
    • Increase developer happiness
    • Reduce time to implement new features

Tiki Evaluation

Support/PlatformEngineeringTikiEvaluation discusses our evaluation of TikiWiki 5.1 as a possible future development platform. We arrived at a decision to rewrite the SUMO platform from scratch.

Kitsune

Support/Kitsune is our project to reimplement SUMO.

Frameworks

[Framework Matrix] looks at possible languages and frameworks for building the new SUMO.
