I think that Katello is starting to be big and messy. I would like to split it into two sub-projects UI and core with API in future. UI would use API as CLI does and it could be written in AngularJS. We are already playing with it in nuTupane and Alchemy, why not to go all the way? Smaller projects are easier to maintain/develop, adding new features is faster which is what we want :) What do you think?

Unfortunately it's a a lot of changes on the UI side (not sure how much code could be salvaged/moved to the new UI implementation). I think in order for this to be accepted by the management, an approach where the new and old UI can coexist and individual screens are being converted one-by-one is needed. </div></blockquote><div> </div><div style>Agree here. I don't think we could do a whole-hog change over either, but if we set our sights upon and agree it is the long term goal then we can make tweaks and changes along the way towards that end.
