New Lift webapp for DBSchools Music Gradebook open source project—seeking collaborators

[Dave Briccetti]

Hi all. I am rewriting parts of a seven-year-old Java/Swing/Hibernate application in Lift and Squeryl. Here is the first commit:

https://github.com/dcbriccetti/dbschools/commit/f2d80cbd4e041c940f9a2affeb4981c1acfe5b54

I would love to have more collaborators. It’s an application for music teachers (band directors, especially) to track student progress. This page describes the existing application: http://davebsoft.com/applications/music-gradebook

Please consider contributing to the project, for the benefit of music educators (and maybe your own development).

Hi Dave,

Do you have a list of features you would like to implement, or
specific areas you could use some help?

Thanks

Diego

Hi guys. I want to start by porting the administrative side of the Swing application to Scala/Lift/Squeryl. Create/import/edit students, and assign them to music groups on instruments in school years. Display students by school year, group and instrument. Sort/search by the same. Edit lists of instruments, pieces (and their tempos, default and per-instrument), groups.

The Swing app works pretty well, but we’ve had a lot of problems with unsophisticated users and Java Web Start.

Something else that should be done soon is a login feature, with salted hashed passwords (or whatever the current recommended way is). 

Glad to see the interest!

Now *that* would be something, to have you personally take an interest, David. :-)  

You’re also close enough to Lafayette that, should you be so inclined, you could come visit Bob Athayde (stanleymusic.org), the educator I developed this with.

Dave,

I am interested in helping, but my plate is somewhat full, so I'm not sure how much help I'll be... but I will lurk on the list.

Thanks,

David
