Félix's upcoming Leo for vs-code plugin will make Leo available on a platform with millions of users. This will be an important milestone in Leo's history.
Félix tells me that the first few weeks will be crucial, due to the metrics used to recommend new projects to the vs-code public. We will want Leo for vs-code to have as few hangnails as possible, including distribution issues.
Installing Leo for vs-code should be relatively straightforward. Installing python is a snap on vs-code. There will be no need to install Qt. The present pypi package (pip install Leo) should suffice, because there will no need to install any files in the top-level leo-editor folder, except for leo-editor/leoserver.py (maybe with another name).
Summary
Leo for vs-code will drive any changes to Leo in pypi (pip in stall Leo). I'd like to keep such changes to a minimum, so as not to add new distribution difficulties.
All comments welcome.
