Support/PlatformEngineering

Overview

We need to come up with 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 code platform quality to
  • Increase robustness and performance
  • Increase developer happiness
  • Reduce time to implement new features

Refactoring

We need to identify which parts of Tiki we plan to rewrite or refactor. The criteria for choosing these are as follows:

• Existing poor code quality and/or fragility
• Impact of refactoring: choose areas that will have the biggest impact for users and developers
• Ease of refactoring: While this would never be the only criteria, there is certainly value in choosing low hanging fruit
