Prepare for Open Source Release #304
Description
@thisandagain @rachel-fenichel
Here are some things I think we should consider stripping out of this codebase before open sourcing:
- appengine/ - We will never support this. Also the cloud storage demo.
- demos/toolbox, until we figure out how we're going to manage the palette
- Maximum block limit demo and this feature, which I consider a bad feature for us to be putting out
- Generate JavaScript demo - until we actually can do this for Scratch
- JS interpreter demo - same issue as above
- Plane demo - this is not how someone would use Scratch-blocks and it's also very "problem-solvy"
- Mirrored blockly demo - remove it or at least remove the "master-slave" terminology which is potentially problematic
- Code editor demo - This mostly demos exporting code to multiple languages, whcih I don't think we want to support.
- We should make a mark on the block factory demo that this is a WIP for Scratch-blocks
- All code marked
@deprecated- We have no need to maintain these legacy functions in Scratch - JSHint configurations (jshintrc, in package.json) - we now have eslint which I think should be the one we use
- A few of the _compressed builds haven't been updated in a long time, because they're left over (e.g. python generator)
I'm fine with leaving these in but maybe we should get rid of them since they are cruft:
- Possibly all of the translations in
/msg/- we won't be using those, I imagine - Might consider removing warning.js, mutator.js, icon.js, and all of their intermingled dependencies/usages - I think we will never want to use any of these, ever. Could consider removing bubble.js if we never want to use the current comment bubbles. (Tracking in Remove Unused Features #316 )
- Fields - 90% of field_colour, field_date, field_dropdown, field_variable will have to be redone for new UI or integrating with Scratch. I think we should consider removing them at this time and pulling back pieces if/when we want them. Similarly, procedures.js? (Tracking in Removed Unused Fields #317 )
