Description
Idea from 2026-06-17, recorded so it is not lost: per-release refresher modules.
Nextcloud app development changes every release — APIs get deprecated, @nextcloud/vue has breaking changes, the test suite shifts. A course written once is stale within two releases, and the content already carries version-specific notes (NC34 specifics, "jQuery and old globals are gone", Vite replacing Webpack in 2025).
The idea
A short module per release covering what changed for app developers, sourced from:
- the Nextcloud developer documentation changelog
@nextcloud/vuechangelogs- test suite release notes
Open questions
- Does this scale, or does it become a maintenance burden that outlives the motivation to write it?
- Is it better served by a "what changed" section in each release's docs rather than course modules?
- Who owns it — this is a recurring commitment, unlike every other issue here
Not scoped further. Worth a decision before it is worth work.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Review the Nextcloud developer documentation changelog, @nextcloud/vue changelogs, and test suite release notes to assess the proposed sources. First resolve whether recurring modules or per-release documentation sections are sustainable, then define ownership and a repeatable scope; done means an agreed format, responsibility, and initial release plan.
