Devanshu Vyas commented on OFBIZ-9350:
--------------------------------------

Hello Devs,

Thank you all for sharing your views on the topic. As per the suggestion of [~nmalin], I am happy to work on this task in the upcoming Community Days(21st-25th Feb 2020).

As per the comments from [~lektran], I am thinking to create some more sub-tickets here, one for each service. This way the effort will be accounted granularly.

If there is no objection on this, then I will create the tickets on Friday, the first day of the community days.

> According to the proposal thread in [1] we decided to deprecate mini lang.
> This issue tracks the next steps proposed in the aformentioned thread, namely:
> 1. create a Wiki page for the documentation and description of the migration process and how mini lang will be replaced.
> 2. prominently state in the Wiki that minilang will be deprecated, e.g. in [2]
> 3. put deprecation tags in the corresponding code
> 4. kindly ask contributors with open patches written in mini lang to replace them by Groovy code [3]
> 5. start an initiative to replace existing mini lang code with Groovy code where applicable. This needs some more planning and discussion which parts we'll like to replace with Groovy code and which parts will better be replaced by some kind of DSL. A good starting point can be [4][5][6].
