Gabriel's work is on a standard templating choice for all projects. ResourceLoader support will inevitably be needed for that too. We believe that upstreaming this code and making it agnostic to the template language (which it will have to be if Flow is using Handlebars in the meantime) will lead to a good generic piece of code that Knockoff can be easily plugged into in future.

- Both use client side templates but with different template
libraries. MobileFrontend has a method of serving these via ResourceLoader. We recommended that we consolidate this code asap and aim to push it into core, rather than have the situation where we are both using our own code. We should make this template agnostic to fit in with the ongoing RFC around client side templates. I cut a story card to try and get this on MobileFrontend's radar - https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1800
How does this relate to the work by Gabriel on using KnockOut, ala https://github.com/gwicke/knockoff?
