Mykomap tech debt

[wu-lee]

Problem

We need to review the tech debt left over from the CWM project and before.

Resolution

This issue is to collect and itemise the known tech debt. As such there's no hard deliverable, this is more of a collection point for linking to and spinning out new issues. This can be kept around until it's not considered useful.

Broad questions

• How do we manage the current co-existance of MM 4.x and 3.x deployments, and ideally resolve into a lower-maintenance situation? (Presumably by replacing uses of the latter with the former.)

  • What obstacles exist to that?

• Cross-skilling of devs needed. Which portions which are a one-developer silo?

• Unit / regression tests. What exists, and what is missing?

• Documentation. What exists and what is missing? Which is most problematic?

• Hacks and workarounds. What exists and which are most risky?

• Missing features. What exists and which are most problematic?

• Servers and infrastructure and tools. What is in use? What is neglected? What is precarious in the face of staff changes, server crashes, or unexpected demand?

• Demand. What is forecast?

• Staff and resources. What is forecast?

• Coding style guidelines could be useful.
