@peterdotjs version 1.0.0 is right? @drew-gross has the access to npmjs to publish the package, I can't publish it :(

Only @drew-gross I think has publish perms. Drew could you give us permissions?

Hmm regarding version # we could go the same route as parse-server and start with 2.0.0? Thoughts @gfosco ?

[flovilmart]

bumped to 2.0.0, at publish time, @drew-gross could lower leave it

@flovilmart what benefit do we get from gulp in this case? It doesn't seem like it's doing much right now, and I don't really want to add an entire other build step unless it solves a really big problem.

@drew-gross webpack is really bad at moving files around, and it would likely require another package, like webpack-copy-files, a new webpack config, based on production. I don't mind removing gulp, but I tried with webpack and never got a good reliable solution. I'm open to remove gulp.

[drew-gross]

@flovilmart why would webpack need to move files around? Seems like you should be able to just change the output directory.

We need to copy the dashboard files into dist, that is not committed, and only created upon publish.
