We asked for it, we've got it - Open Source opportunities to contribute at the church

[Jesse Stay]

I hope to see all that can contribute pitch in on this.  I've heard some of what they're doing and it's really amazing - this is your chance to have a serious contribution in the development of the Ward and Stake websites for the Church:

What I really want is the source to MLS so I can fix a few of the bugs/design decisions that I find infuriating:

- Getting a non-member spouse to appear on the telephone directory

- The calendar widget the defaults to the current date yet also has a "today" button on the widget.  The "today" button should be in the form that pops the widget, not the widget itself.

I could go on and on....

Good for them for opening up.

Curious minds want to know, does the church "Java Stack" allow for
jruby/jython? I thought they had some Rails freaks over there.

spend my unpaid time programming in Java ;) )

I'm not sure about jruby/jython, but I hear there is also some need in jquery/javascript if you're not a Java developer.

Here is an overview of the stack.  The integration is very well done.  If you sign up for an account there is detailed docs below.

Has anyone managed to check out the code?

The unprotected instructions for checking out provide the SVN URL

http://tech.lds.org/svn/project

But that doesn't work (returns 405 on SVN's PROPFIND request, and 404 to a
normal GET).

The documentation you get to after registering for an account says to use

https://icssvn/svn/Stack/core/trunk/stack-site

(took some digging to find that). But my DNS server obviously doesn't
resolve "icssvn" to anything useful, and icssvn.lds.org and
icssvn.tech.lds.org don't exist either.

I also tried using tech.lds.org in place of icssvn, and I tried various
permutations of the path. No luck.

Anyone else figure this out?

Shawn.

svn/project is generic.  For example the Local Unit Directory url is https://tech.lds.org/svn/lud/  The calendaring project lists it's svn url https://tech.lds.org/wiki/index.php/Local_Unit_Calendaring

Each project should list the svn url on its wiki page.

Thanks. The 'https' is a key part of what I was missing.

Two questions:

First, I assume the Java Stack you mentioned in your previous e-mail is a
framework, and I'd like to take a look at it. I don't see an SVN URL for it
anywhere, though, except for the internal icssvn URLs. Is that not
available?

Second, is there a wiki page that lists all of the projects? I see the Local
Unit Website Project Index, is that everything?

Thanks again,

Shawn.

The source for the stack is not released (though the binaries are downloaded with maven).  The documentation is here https://tech.lds.org/javastack/docs/2.1.7/

The stack is mostly open source tools and libraries with some glue code.  The main components are:
Spring
JSF
Facelets
SEAM
JPA/Hibernate

The documentation is pretty good.

The stack jars are on the maven repo here (secured with an account) https://tech.lds.org/javarepo/org/lds/stack/
