There are too many angular 2 seed projects - What's this project for?

I'm working for a while on a large project which we started some weeks ago with the release of angular ~beta.16.

Before we started we wrote our concepts for the application architecture and started searching for a project which gives us a handful of useful tools to help us build something maintainable on a best practice approach. The problem we now facing is a bit difficult, we have now at least three options we can chose from:

• https://github.com/angular/angular2-seed
• https://github.com/mgechev/angular2-seed
• https://github.com/angular/angular-cli

Could you please provide your plans for the future how we can classify this official angular2-seed project? Will it be integrated into the angular-cli? It's difficult for angular2-starters to find the right track. Thank you for your great work!

This is the only angular seed that uses webpack as bundler / build tool and it has been a great help to me to get up and running using Angular2, TypeScript and Webpack.

The other popular Angular2 Webpack seed worth mentioning, /AngularClass/angular2-webpack-starter, proved to be too hard to understand, because there is so much 'magic' going on in the config files. I don't consider that a starter project at all. angular/angular2-seed is ideal for webpack starters however.

Okay, that sounds comprehensible to me. Thank you @bbottema for your answer here. Interesting that there is another starter pack for that 😵

But what are the best practice plans of the angular core team for the future? Could someone of the core team please provide some additional information or statements about that?

I think this a completely valid question. It'd be nice to have some "official" input on this.

If you refer to use webpack in your projects, i think you can check this out: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/webpack.html.
It very easy to understand and clearly. You can build your own a starter project and fun with it.
