Software overhaul? - Frontend experience

The current state of WPD in terms of software is very poor. A lot of issues
have been fixed over the last few months, but overall the system as a whole
isn't up to what most of us seem to think the standards should be. A few of
us have been experimenting with different platforms and seeing if they
would meet what we think WPD would be. However the progress has been
seemingly slow and without real community discussion of what the standards
should be that are being thought about. That is changing.

We need to discuss what the contributor experience should be like and
formalize a set of goals for how everything will work and interact. This
way as we are analyzing possible solutions, we can find the one that best
suites those end goals. After a few months of being live we have spotted
many pain-points for contribution, so taking that knowledge we need to
figure out the most fluid way for contributors to work because what we have
now simply doesn't cut it.

What do you all think that the contributor experience should be like? If
you can point to example pages online that show the workflow you're
thinking of. Remember that this conversation is not about backends at all,
just about how we think contributors should interact from the front-end.

Thanks,
