Showcase Public Lab projects dependencies among themselves

[grvsachdeva]

@jywarren I think there should be a dedicated documentation page for Public Lab projects too which can contain the flowcharts showing which PL libraries are utilised at which project like Leaflet, Editor, etc used at plots2 and so on. This will give the clarity to new-comers and they may be interested in contributing/improving the library too. What do you think?
Thanks!

@jywarren: Ah that's a great idea @gauravano! We have some diagramming issues and a Google presentation we could build off of!

Let's discuss here about how to achieve this goal. Also, @jywarren please drop/tag diagramming issues or PPTs here.

Should we make a page a HTML page at community-toolbox regarding this or a Readme?

How about a README since it will be available in github itself. We can maybe link to the README or somehow display it in the community toolbox.

I think a HTML page at community-toolbox would be better that way newcomers can get a basic understanding of where and how different projects are used before taking the deep dive.
Regarding the idea of placing it in the Readme, just to be clear we are talking about a central Readme in a particular repo covering all projects or a section for the proposed flowcharts etc in every project's readme?

How about (this is a bit complex) getting a picture through a GET request from community toolbox? The same picture can be requested by all README files and also by the toolbox website. The picture can be updated and the concerned README and HTML page will automatically change. How does this sound??

[Yugandhartripathi]

@harshkhandeparkar I don't think a single image can explain relationship for all the projects, we would need more or less a separate image(if we are going the image way) for every project and then to display all those on community toolbox page is more like going with the HTML page approach.

My Opinion : It's best to have a html page so that we can display much about it and we can style it as we like.

[harshkhandeparkar]

@Yugandhartripathi we can create separate images for all repos and request them since we are using GET requests

This dependency chart will show the dependency of PL repo's on one-another so there would be a single page sufficient for showing this. I think an HTML page at community-toolbox will be good as we point new-contributors there only.
