Folks, You might be interested to know that Estatio, the application that Jeroen and I have been working on part-time for the last 12 months, has been open sourced under ASLv2.
Jeroen has far deeper domain knowledge in this area than I, and has written the majority of the app; most of my time over the last 12 months has been devoted to enhancing Isis in support of this app. As such, we now have the JDO objectstore, the Wicket viewer, Shiro security, and lots of supporting changes in Isis core. In that time we've also seen Isis graduate as a top-level project, get a new website and extensive docs, be repackaged in a more modular fashion, and of course, took on Jeroen (and also Maurizio) as new committers. I should say that the app is still under development, and there are plenty of bugs and issues, but development is progressing well. The plan is for this to go live in Nov; I suspect it will get some follow-on releases and enhancements after that. Anyway, you can take a look-see; the code is available up on github [1]. If you get the time, let me know whether or not the thing builds and runs for you. If you look at the license files you'll see that the code is (c) Eurocommercial Properties NV [2]. This is Dutch estate management company who, by paying for Jeroen's and my development time, have been sponsoring Isis' development. I'm immensely grateful to them for their support. It's possible that the ownership of the code might, in time, be spun off to some other legal entity. Nevertheless, once we've gone live I do intend to put some more permanent thanks to ECP on the website recognizing their huge contribution to Isis. I'm also hopeful that Estatio will become a reference application for Isis, demonstrating the sorts of apps that one can build with Isis. Hopefully it also embodies some good practices for others to follow. Anyway, do take a look; any feedback welcome. [1] https://github.com/estatio/estatio [2] http://www.eurocommercialproperties.com/
