View Source Reboot Planning YYYY-MM-DD Kevin Dangoor

Summary

View source is one of the most used features by web developers of all levels, especially those getting started. It's also a very "experienced" piece of code. We want to make View Source:

  • easily extendable with new features
  • easily reusable for different contexts (source view for debugging, for example)
  • better, with long-requested fixes and enhancements

Notably, View Source will also enter the 21st century by adding the ability to look at both the original (as downloaded from the server) and current (after any modifications by JavaScript) source.

Release Requirements

TBD

Next Steps

  • Evaluate current implementation of view source
  • Determine scope/produce mockups
    • Pick out high-value view source bugs
  • Evaluate Ace as a source viewer
  • Determine security and QA contacts
