Asam needs help mostly (but not only) in these fields:
- Translations - currently only English and Hebrew are supported
- Coding style improvments - I'm not a Ruby expert and I'm sure things could have been written better
- New file types parsers & thumbnailers
Asam (אסם) means barn or storehouse in Hebrew. We figured it's good name for a system that holds all our knowledge base.
I try to make sure the code runs, but obviously things can go wrong sometimes. Use the project issue tracker in case of need.
This project wouldn't be possible without Rails, jQuery, Thinking Sphinx, Plupload, acts-as-taggable-on, acts_as_commentable, ajaxful_rating_jquery and a messed up biological clock.
The beautiful design was created by @leshido.
Asam is released under the GPL. If this is stopping you from using it, let me know.
