Main Approach

  • Identify a list of 5 possible approximately 10 key re-factoring areas (5 easier, 5 more difficult)
  • Ask the Community for volunteers to help re-factor in these 5 selected areas
  • As one area is completed, we will top up the list of with another area so that the total will remain at 5Tick off each area as it is completed
  • Use of JIRA for tracking work (e.g open a master issue for each area identified and include individual sub-tasks)

  • Use of JIRA to organise sprints if required

  • Use the trunk as the main code source for the framework re-factor

Reasoning

  • A short to-do list of 5 is good number to highlight the key areas
  • A  list will help focus the community on what needs to be done
  • As one area is finished we can easily move to another
  • Over time the initial re-factoring will make further re-factoring easier

Other ways to help

If our top 5 areas seem a little too much for you to take on then you can help in other areas too, and a little bit of work quickly adds up. Below are some other ideas for helping remove clutter and help clean up the code base.
