Roadmap - novaez/syntastic GitHub Wiki

This is a WIP and is more of an ideas vomit at the moment.

Async updating

There has been a lot of interest in this and at least 2 pull requests with proofs of concept.

We should move the error updating code out into a class, then we will be able to swap this out for an async class with the same interface.

Doc updates for checker devs

Write a wiki page guide for people that want to write a checker. Cover things like:

  • SyntasticMake
  • syntasitc#makeprg#build
  • The functions that make up a syntax checker (Syntasitc_ft_(IsAvailable|GetHighlightRegex|GetLocList) ) and the naming conventions.
  • The directory structure of the checkers
  • ...

Basically anything a new developer would need to write a checker.

Contributor guidelines

Need a doc for this.
