I think that rhetorical questions are out of style for a design document.
|
Design document definitely needs to contain what coordinate system Hearth has, as every single asset and translation/movement code has to be based off that. |

Closes #138.
An incomplete design document is better than an outdated one. Besides, if I were capable of completing this on my own, it would have happened in the months that I've been trying to do this. I need help. This new design document is basically solely responsible for blocking the search for more public Hearth engagement.
Let's polish and then merge an incompete draft of the design document, then open a megaissue to coordinate the work on each individual section and who is able to complete them. Divide and conquer.
I'm not sure how many of the drafting notes and comments in this draft we should keep, or how many we should maintain as help to whoever fleshes out each incomplete section. However, I do think that we should make a reasonable (i.e. let's not let this take four more months) polishing pass on what I've written so far before we put it in the main branch.
I've put the new design document in a dedicated file (
NEW_DESIGN.md) in order to avoid diffing it against the old design document to ease the review process. Once the design document is approved by everyone, I'll make one final commit to overwriteDESIGN.mdwithNEW_DESIGN.mdand merge it.Please leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions about this drafting process.
