initial thoughts

@karimsa, initial thoughts? not sure yet how analytics tools should be implemented, but that can come later, as long as we track the data for now

?

Looks good. My first question would be, who is the end user? Are we making this more of joomla-like thing that simply installs into the web server and then you can install themes and stuff to customize it? Or more of a components library that you import into your own project and build your own front-end around the components?

[valenvb]

I'm thinking it should be entierly flexible in that regard. Like, you should be able to install it as a standalone system, but it should be equally easy to integrate it into existing systems, does that make sense?

[valenvb]

Perhaps a core backend, and then some kind plugin system that accepts the UI elements?

[karimsa]

Alright, then it would be smart to start off with building the core backend here, and then maybe a separate repo for the standalone edition. It wouldn't make sense to bundle them both together if the user decides not to use the standalone version, it would make things heavier.

This all looks pretty good. But I think the Facebook Graph API only allows fetching the likes of a Facebook page. Any idea how we'd be able to count without using a hacky way?

Also, perhaps we should discuss the data structure?

[valenvb]

I wasn't thinking about that (Facebook). but it would probably be good to at least integrating some kind of share/like functionality, that's true. And, yeah, it'd probably be a good idea to think about data structure now
