Slam

Slam is a simple web application I am building for Slide account management. There are at least two other similar projects out there (Lance Leverich's work for a customer that he's hoping to make open, and the projector app within Slide itself), but I expect that Slam will grow over time into the Chandler server's overall administrative interface.

As of this morning, all unit tests for creating, reading, updating and deleting users in Slide pass. The project is taking a little longer than I'd hoped, mainly due to my coming up to speed on various WebDAV. So for the next few days I'm going to switch focus to the nearer-term 0.1 version of the Chandler Server.

TODO

• when creating a user, add him to the users role, create his homedir and set up access control on it
• when removing a user, remove him from the users role, delete his homedir and remove acls
• should deleted users' homedirs be archived instead?
• add the web interface

Chandler Server 0.1

The first priority for the server project is to make a package available that can be downloaded, installed and configured in as few simple steps as possible. This version of the server is a standalone single user server incorporating Tomcat and Slide. It is targeted at developers who know next to nothing about Tomcat or Slide and don't have an existing installation of Tomcat in which they want to drop the Chandler server. CS 0.2 and beyond will add multiuser support and an unbundled configuration.
