[Commotion-dev] Commotion Client Development

[Chris Ritzo]

Shamanon-

Sounds like you're making some great progress on learning the core
components of Commotion.

If you haven't found it already, there is some great documentation on
our planned Architecture and Development notes on Commotion Client on
it's repository's Github wiki:
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-client/wiki

All pages are organized into a comprehensive technical architecture and
development guide:
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-client/wiki/commotion-client-architecture
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-client/wiki/development-guide

Any progress you are able to make here would be amazing!
Thanks for being so enthusiastic.

Please continue to email us or find on the #commotion IRC channel
