Hello everyone, I've been working on a project named "Lagerstatte", a front-end for Fossil repositories. The browser facing part is written in Ember.js, while server runs a Ruby on Rails application which acts as a JSON endpoint. Access to Fossil database is provided by Stephan's excellent libfossil library.
I'd also like to emphasise that this a "very early" announcement. The project is far from even a beta stage. With this email, my sole intention is to make Fossil community aware of the project. Lagerstatte is a work-in-progress and may do anything it likes up to and including eating your laundry. Features that you can evaluate today: * Navigating through files. * Viewing latest revision of wiki pages. * Access the Fossil repositories through Git protocol (readonly). Planned features: * Installation instructions & documentations. * on-premise behind-firewall installations. * Fully featured code, wiki, and issues management. * Email notifications. * LDAP / OpenID Connect authentication. * Searching across multiple repositories. * Basic elements of social networking & project discovery. * Unified login across all repositories. * One-click repository setup. * Fault-tolerant and high-availability storage of Fossil repositories. * Cheap forking (I have some ideas on how to achieve this in Fossil/libfossil). * Cross-fork merge-requests. * API, Notifications, Webhooks, & OAuth for integration with third-parties. * Graphs & Statistics. A preview of Lagerstatte-in-action is available at https://codeflow.io/ Lagerstatte: Web/Fossil: https://codeflow.io/lagerstatte/lagerstatte Git: http://git.codeflow.io/lagerstatte/lagerstatte fossil_ruby: (a Ruby wrapper for libfossil) Web/Fossil: https://codeflow.io/lagerstatte/fossil_ruby Git: http://git.codeflow.io/lagerstatte/fossil_ruby libfossil: Web/Fossil: https://codeflow.io/libfossil/libfossil Git: http://git.codeflow.io/libfossil/libfossil Fossil: Web: https://codeflow.io/fossil/fossil Git/Fossil: Too awesome to handle by currently inefficient git conversion code. I've some ideas on improving this, which I'm working on. I'll be adding more repositories soon to the list (SQLite3, SQLite4, Tcl, Tk, and more). If you'd like to see your repository at Codeflow, let me know.

About name: "A Lagerstätte is a sedimentary deposit that exhibits extraordinary fossils with exceptional preservation." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagerstätte Stephan and me had a lengthy discussion on transliteration of "Lagerstätte" to ASCII. Candidates were "Lagerstaette" and "Lagerstatte". (more context: http://german.stackexchange.com/q/4992). Following up on the trend of several previous German loanwords in English, we decided to go with "Lagerstatte". Cheers. - Vikrant _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
