+1 It is not clear to me why many people chose to highlight "Ruby experience" as a prerequisite. Sure, it helps, but if you can copy/paste code, you should do fine. For example, take a look at the add-comment and add-minutes files in the following directory: https://github.com/rubys/whimsy-agenda/tree/master/views/buttons Self.button defines the button that will show up at the bottom of the page. btn-primary, data-toggle, and data-target are Bootstrap concepts. Self.render defines the modal dialog. If you are familiar with HTML, you should be able to recognize h4, input, textarea, and button elements. componentDidMount and componentWillReceiveProps are part of the React lifecycle. save and flag are methods associated with onClick handlers associated with buttons. The body of these methods do HTTP post requests and process responses. The code that handles the server logic triggered by POST requests is in: https://github.com/rubys/whimsy-agenda/tree/master/views/actions The code comes with a test suite, and can run on Linux, MacOSX, Vagrant, or Docker. I do have a lot more to say (for example, there is code in place to make using Server Side Events as easy as calling Events.post on the server and Events.subscribe on the client), but if you are interested in making use of modern web technologies and have at least a passing knowledge of languages like JavaScript, Perl, Python, or Ruby, please do consider joining us once the Whimsy PMC is set up. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
