+:[Choose editor(s) as a basis for the authoring environment #5 - Comment](https://github.com/iilab/contentascode/issues/5#issuecomment-197972547)
+
+This [issue on ProseMirror](https://github.com/ProseMirror/prosemirror/issues/9) makes a good point about separation of concern between the editor and the backend. Substance might mean a slightly stronger coupling between document authoring, document metadata and project navigation and backend. 
+
+In that sense Prose could be a project navigation component with ProseMirror as the authoring component (there would probably need to be some integration between the two to help for instance with navigation within a project's media or link library).  Prose would manage document metadata (in the YAML frontmatter or elsewhere) and connect to various backends (including local ones for offline editing). 
+
+This gitbook component Repofs (https://github.com/GitbookIO/repofs) is an interesting approach to integrating the project navigation (and common features currently not in Prose like moving files, creating folders or dealing with templates.
