Hey Philip—

How's this going? I'm working on v3 of connect-assets at the moment (well, it got stalled, but then I got nudged about it) and I'd love to start working on including some of these changes in an alpha or something.

[pthrasher]

@adunkman I was hoping to get it done by the end of may, but ran out of time.

This is definitely on the list of things that need to get done asap. I should have ample time to finish up this PR this month.

Let me know what specifically you'd like included, etc... How the API can be altered (if necessary) to better work with connect-assets...

I definitely look forward to any collaboration we can do on it.

@pthrasher how about pushing some parts that are already complete to the npm? It haven't been updated in a year and devs like me would totally appreciate some new awesomeness 👍

Need any help? :)

@rstacruz Always up for help!

I want to dig back into this, as I really need this to be working in tip top shape. However, I feel there's a need to break things up into a different set of components.

Basically, this thing just isn't really extensible right now, and if you want to do source maps properly with mixed file types, mixed minification, etc... You need to have a broken up toolchain. So some thought needs to be put into that.

Hey guys, I'm back in this, and have also enlisted the help of a colleague. I'll be getting to most of the above things in the next couple of weeks, and likely go ahead and do an incomplete release just to get some of this new stuff out there.

Thanks for being patient
