 ==== 2. Technology Demo for Javascript Tooling Planning ====
+Chris proposed using package.json scripts instead of using Grunt (which is no longer widely used and is somewhat hard to understand). Some tasks will "just work" (like eslint, which is a simple command that loads a default configuration file), but other tasks may require custom scripts (like less/sass, which needs to account for our theme inheritance, etc.). Chris proposes adding a "scripts" directory to hold these scripts.
+Chris also raised the issue of Javascript modernization -- should we use React, Vue.js, Typescript, etc. Possible compromise that could improve code quality without increasing complexity of deployment/development: annotate files using jsdoc for types, then use Typescript's tsc to validate the files. Offers a possible "best of both worlds" solution.
+Next steps: Chris will set up a PR to begin the grunt --> npm conversion, starting with SCSS compilation (which Claas will help test).
