[openspending-dev] openspending and openspendingjs as separate repositories

[Friedrich Lindenberg]

>From a practical point of view, I think that both are potentially
hackable by different groups: people who may want to contribute to
OpenSpendingJS can be visualisation experts who do not want to install
Python, OpenSpending, Postgres, RabbitMQ and Solr on their dev
machines. Instead, they can check out that repo, put in in their LAMP
install and go into their settings on OpenSpending.org to set a
user-custom script root, which will make OS.org get all of the scripts
off their local version, e.g. http://localhost/openspendingjs. Gregor
has been using it, and I think we should promote it more.

As for merging parts of the JS back into OS: we could do that, but
then we potentially end up with two vendor lib archives - which I
think is more trouble than we gain.

Cheers,

 - Friedrich
