I created a quick doc to describe some of my ideals: http://jonmc12.github.com/BackboneIdeals/ http://jonmc12.github.com/BackboneIdeals/ - very quick obviously.. but I think it gets main points across: 1. A conceptual model that describes the input / output between DOM and user. 2. More explicit enumerations of event bindings 3. Explicit link between user interactions/events and constrained DOM manipulation - to match conceptual model. 4. Defining all viewable elements in HTML templates 5. Round-trip syncing between HTML and data models Let me know if you think inputs are interesting or would want any more detail around concepts.
