From Washington Times.Previous Post Next PostThe Washington Times has always focused on content. After careful review, we determined that the best way to have the top tools to produce and publish that content is to release the source code of our in-house tools and encourage collaboration.
The source code is released under the permissive Apache License, version 2.0. The initial tools released are:
django-projectmgr, a source code repository manager and issue tracking application. It allows threaded discussion of bugs and features, separation of bugs, features and tasks and easy creation of source code repositories for either public or private consumption.
django-supertagging, an interface to the Open Calais service for semantic markup.
django-massmedia, a multi-media management application. It can create galleries with multiple media types within, allows mass uploads with an archive file, and has a plugin for fckeditor for embedding the objects from a rich text editor.
django-clickpass, an interface to the clickpass.com OpenID service that allows users to create an account with a Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Hotmail or AIM account.
The opensource.washingtontimes.com web site will be hosting the code and issue tracking software, using django-projectmgr.
