Hey all!

Sorry for late response.

This was an odd brainfart. I meant to
say purecss, due to its lack of js.
However without a debian package this
may be an issue. What do you think?

I agree with this fully.

That is correct. I think it will certainly involve noscript.

Interesting idea, I imagine the most
pragmatic soloution will involve breaking
the componants of the site to more
general modules. So the data needed to
display the site will have an
AJAX/websocket endpoint the dynamic
client can connect to.

I imagine for this work we will need to
run mocha or a similar testing library on
the site. I cant think of way to do run
these tests without a browser or node.

This will need to be looked into this
week.

I have updated the trello with my plan
and information.

Expect an email tomorrow after I rest
from all this travel and family. I will
finalize meeting times then. I'll be on IRC
too if you need me!

Talk soon,

Aaron
