Initiapp

Web-based organization for initiatives.

Concept

Most community driven initiatives share the same needs for software:

• They organize themselves as members of an initiative, sometimes within groups.
• Members send messages to other members or groups or all members of the initiative.
• The initiative collects knowledge in some form of editable pages (wiki), possibly sharing some pages with members, groups, other initiatives or the world (kind of a homepage).
• Tasks, todos, events or however you might call them are often a central part of organization as well.

All these parts can be put together with one simple approach: Just append text nodes to the triangle Members/ Groups/ Initiatives. This is the core idea of this project, together with the intent not to reinvent everything from scratch but instead using existing modules as far as possible.

Development

git clone https://github.com/robwa/initiapp.git
cd initiapp
bundle install
rake db:test:prepare
cucumber

The output of the last command should give you a good impression of what the current state of development is.

rake db:setup
rails server

Should give you a running application.

See the development page in the Github wiki for further information.
