Thread:Talk:ResourceLoader/Version 2 Design Specification/Cleaning up gadgets, gadget manager/reply

In the first iteration of the Gadgets rewrite ("Gadgets 2.0") we are focussing on the main functionality. Keeping as first priority to not break existing gadget infrastructures and making the new features stable as supposed to packed-with-features.

A nice code editor with syntax highlighting and validation of syntax or code style sounds like a good idea. However I'd recommend doing that as a gadget, not as part of this extension itself.

On MediaWiki.org, for example, is a gadget called "CodeEditor". If you activate that and go and [ edit your common.js] you'll have live syntax highlighting.
