Where do we go from here?

[sfrisk]

This project has been around for about two years now, although due to other life concerns and time availability of team members, progress has been slow for the last year. We've been lacking in focus, and components tend to go in different stylistic directions, both code wise and visually.

We also made decisions 2+ years ago that maybe are not the best ideas now. So the purpose of this issue thread is to analyze decisions we made and see where we need to go from here. Let's come up with a clear list of actionable goals for V1 which could include the following:

• Analyze tooling, revisit if necessary
  • Currently we are using grunt.
• Refactor Typography. How do we want to handle it? (responsive typography, units, etc)
• Are we still happy with SASS? Is it worth it to look at post-css, and embrace CSS modules instead? (It would make it easier for JS libraries to use just the parts of this project they need, since CSS modules are becoming popular)
• Getting Started / Style Guide files
  • This might help with new contributors, as our current way of doing things isn't well documented unless you look at the code
• Etc

Just my 2 cents:

1. I am happy with grunt. Though we should once revisit the tests we have used and remove the ones that are not relevant right now. There is an accessibility test PR pending which I think should be merged.
2. This is going to be a big debate over at Typography and Unit Measurement Review and Refactor #172 , But we should certainly remove the em mixin and use rems in some cases rather than ems.

We are planning to meet on Sunday 26 February 2017 at IRC Freenode #jquery-meeting to discuss and plan things for chassis.

If you wish to participate, please join us and convey a time suitable for you at

We will post the final time here by Saturday.

1. The only reason why I brought up grunt is that I've seen more js frameworks these days prefer webpack.
2. definitely.

So how about 11 am ET on Sunday?

I've just learned about OpenJS, which lists this as a project.

Is one of the goals of OpenJS to help projects like Chasis remain maintained?
