Concepts

• Dynamic CMS/WiKi engine completely describe layouts (multiple pages)
• Re-configurable/re-sizeable page-layouts using JS frameworks
• We have several types of objects
  • Configuration object tracking all current parameters. The following parameter types:
    • Navigational - change the data/view on display)
    • Representational - specify how the data is presented (aggregation mode for instance)
    • Internal - some internal parameters which will be not shown in the URL
  • Static content placed in the template provided by WiKi? using XML/XSL
    • This includes configuration modules (currently in sidebar) adjusting parameters of configuration object
  • Permanently running applications
    • Graph object is an example of application. But there could be more...
    • Navigation bar is another not yet implemented example...
    • However, applications may have multiple view linked to different pages using WiKi? templates
• Dynamic manipulations with loaded data
  • Extract data from the cache levels
  • Example interface

Backend

• Ruby or Python
• Whenever possible the databases are accessed using ORM
• Client-side and server-side rendering options

Questions

• Parameter passing. The parameter line gets too long for HTTP GET. Shall we use stateful server?

JS Libraries & Frameworks

• jQuery (MIT)
• RightJS (MIT)
• Prototype + Sciptaculous (MIT)
• DHTMLX (GPL)
• ExtJS Framework + Sencha Touch (GPL3)

HTML5 CMS/WiKi

• Tiddly Tools
• Alternatively we can use a fast static one with JS wrapper.

Competitors

• Majorana/CoudchDB - try selecting something in the mjdscm history and pick things in the Davis SCM Environment (very flow).
• NMDB
• OMERO - Image management
