Hi Ola, Sorry for the delayed response but it has been very busy :-). We would very much like to get you involved in the iFolder project and I believe there are some very interesting projects that have scope that would fit your time constraints. If you visit http://community.ifolder.com/teaming/ifolder/projects you will find several project for iFolder that have been defined by community members. These are projects that are underway and that need volunteers. There is also a TODO list wiki which lists several projects that are currently under consideration but haven't been started.
As for the documentation, that is one of our priorities as a community. We want to make the code accessible and easy to find information about. We are not very far along at this point but this effort will be unfolding quickly over the next few months. As a start you can look at the web services for iFolder that are available from an iFolder server. These are available at ... http:///simias10/Simias.asmx http:///simias10/DomainService.asmx http:///simias10/DiscoveryService.asmx http:///simias10/iFolderWeb.asmx http:///simias10/iFolderAdmin.asmx Thanks, Brent >>> Ola Vikholt <[email protected]> 6/29/2009 5:26 PM >>> Hi iFolder developer community! We are two summer student employees at UNINETT in Norway considering contributing to iFolder. We originally set out to make something very similar, but then we eventually discovered iFolder, which looks very much like what we had in mind! Only about six weeks remain of our internship, so in order to get something done we would need some guiding from someone who's more familiar with the project, help on choosing a task of appropriate size and so on. (However, it's not improbable that at least one of us will continue contributing after the employment period, so any resources spent on getting us started might not be a total waste.) We've been around your IRC channel for a couple of days, with nicks vikholt and hellesof. I have a lot of ideas and thoughts about documentation, web page layout and all the appearance related stuff, while my colleague Helle seems to be quite determined she wants to code something. We will be able to test the server side software on an openSUSE installation tomorrow, and thus also the client. I already have this question: When you install the iFolder client, you have to input the domain address of an iFolder server, which some people wanting to try out iFolder might not have or be able to install. How about the project offered one or two (Europe, USA, ) test servers for this purpose? UNINETT is a non-profit group owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research. It supplies network and network services to universities and research institutions in Norway. Sincerely, on behalf of Helle Benjaminsen and myself, Ola Brunborg Vikholt
