Add JSON Schemas to Backbone.Mediator about codecombat HOT 4 CLOSED

The project I forked off of the original Mediator is called Validated Backbone Mediator. Schemas are named after the channel they are supposed to verify and can be added to the global Backbone.Mediator by calling its addSchemas method. For the moment that method expects a map of the form in which it keeps its own schemas.

I also have a CoCo branch running in which I integrate it. All schemas are simply dropped into the schemas folder, in which currently only the file subscriptions.coffee lives (do check it out for examples). This might have to be broken down into more files but I've left room for such refactorings. The schemas are added to Backbone.Mediator inside CoCo's init. The whole setup is very much like the locale files, if that helps you get a picture.

It needs some work to allow for cross schema references but I think we're off to a good start here in order to formalize and gather information surrounding the most important communication channel behind CodeCombat. I'll probably send a Pull Request soon, to get a feel of what it'll be like.

So now that this is merged in, shall we close this issue and create a new one detailing how to use Validated Backbone Mediator to add all the schemas we'll want?

Sure thing, so that you can reference the issue from the long awaited Archmage email Scott wanted to write. The roots of this issue on itself have been taken care of.
If you want I'll open the new issue as soon as you close off this one, in case you don't feel like it yourself.

Yup! Just need a really good description of the process for Archmages to come in and add schemas.
