Re: [orion-dev] Regarding Orion Web IDE PHP Editor (GSoC)

Hi John, thank you for your fast reply!

Recently I was working on my proposal and I'd like to show you guys
the draft version. Most of the parts are there. Please let me know
what do you think. Any advice is welcome!

For syntax checking and content assist, there is similarly only a single service today. However in the plan for our next milestone [1], there is work to create extension points to enable arbitrary syntax colouring, checking, and content assist in a more extensible way (for example different implementations for different editor types).

If you are starting now, you can use the existing mechanisms, and then whoever is doing the extension point work can help with refactoring that into a more modular structure (separating PHP, JS, CSS, etc, into separate contributions). If you are mostly planning to work over the summer, you might want to wait for M7 (April 29th) when those extension points are hopefully in place. Either way, it will be fantastic having a contributor working on tooling for another language, because it will help us ensure the Orion platform is truly extensible. Just keep in mind this is a very early stage in the project so the road might be a bit more bumpy than on an established platform like desktop Eclipse!
