How to (get) help / feedback / comments / suggestions

This is a sample project, set up by an generally experienced programmer without experience with Angular2 / webpack. Hopefully people will find it useful.

It is NOT a super-project set up by experts, nor by the BPMN-JS team.

If you have comments, ideas, suggestions, improvements, praise, blame, whatever - please, bring them on! Either as issues / pull-requests / whatever here on github, or on the BPMN-IO forum:

https://forum.bpmn.io/t/bpmn-js-with-angular2-and-webpack/1291

Misc todo's, suggestions welcome:

• Coordination/integration between Angular-components and the BPMN.IO providers seems to be difficult. How should one implement (e.g.) save functionality?

• Improve development tools. Stacktrace in browser doesn't match typescript files. it is not possible to debug from IntelliJ. Any ideas?

• bpmn-bundling is done by adding lots of stuff into src/bpmn.ts. Is it possible to automate this process somehow?

• Further typescriptify some of the javascript code

• Typings for bpmn-libs? Autocomplete / suggestions in IDEs would be very nice.

• Add some tests (probably standard webpack/angular2-stuff)
