Improve YAML based source control feature

The YAML based ODP looks absolutely promising, but currently feels like a step backwards because it contains less readable information. That makes it impossible to do code reviews or check what changes others have made.


Most of the 'text-based' contents in the NSF seem to be exported already fine to the YAML files (Java, XPages, custom controls, themes, faces-config, etc). But for us to consider using the YAML format we also need a readable export of:

  • View column details & column headers: at least the information that's available in the current XML based format

  • Source code for Java agents

From what I heard the YAML based ODP syncing is a lot faster, so it would be great if we could have auto import/export to that as well (it seems like that isn't working currently, or am I wrong?)

      Totally agree! And really hope this will be improved quickly - as it really is a very promising concept.

      Would also like to see how HCL would best suggest to get and implement improvements to other areas missing as I think this is very import for the future of this concept.
