A few questions. Is the folder standards uptodate in this plugin.

1. Why is the template folder in static
2. Why is there lib in both root and static

Is it just random hierarchy or does it exist a why for this? I know i cant specify any path myself but it would be nice to follow a standard.

I know, there are more important questions to answer but I am just curious

As up to date as we think, anyway. There is no real standard, just good practices

Templates are in static because it used to be exposed as a mounted directory, but I suppose that does not matter anymore.

ok, maybe we can update to quickstart plugin to something that make sense.

have the standard folders in the plugin root. Whats the difference between the lib folders

Root

• templates
• static
• lib
• acpscripts
• scripts

And maybe have the doc info in the readme for this plugin.

lib in the root is server code, static/lib is client scripts.

After much searching, there does not appear to be even the slightest semblance of any standard in the node world.

I like this platform but documentation and standards is not that good. But hay! Something is good
