About TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION is a monthly show covering the most important topics to come out of the Meteor Forums. Each month we need your help to pick the most relevant forum posts for us to discuss with MDG in deeper detail.
The impact of the loss of Arunoda/Kadira as creators/maintainers on some of the most used Meteor packages. Will those packages be removed from the guide? Any discussions with Arunoda?
As MDG transistions to a role of fostering a community developed platform where does the line of that get drawn? E.g. as Blaze gets decoupled it really is no more significant to core than Flow-router, Collection2, and other packages that are very commonly used. Should the resources spent fostering the community be put only towards what is or was in core or should it be focused on what has the most impact on the community?
@sashko made a comment in one the posts that a number of thought leaders in Meteor have moved on. My take is that many were service providers who were needed when Meteor was still not as stable, and / or who moved on to āshinyā frameworks. Now that Meteor is stable, I am noticing quite a few companies actually using it, but they are not that active in the community (i.e. forum) - they come in every once in a while to read about updates but thatās it. I can sense why, they are not necessarily looking to sell their services, they have a product that makes money (we fall into that category) and are perfectly happy about Meteor the way it is.
This is a major change in Meteorās community composition. There is a larger āsilent majorityā now. I think it is an important topic to address as the community in this forum is still judging meteor by the previous composition of the community, which has evolved quite a bit.
Exactly! I mean, Iām getting recruiter emails with offers for Meteor jobs - trough LinkedInā¦ how more established can a framework be!
@pauldowman I would love to have @benjamn on, to thank him for the awesome work on 1.4.2, and to talk about whatās on the roadmap. (& can you gift him a beer for me? Iāll send you some BTC )
What about Service Workers support out of the box in Meteor? It would allow us to build Progressive Web Apps (Push notifications, offline support, launch app from home screen, ā¦)
