More ruby on rails source code!
The same team that brought you the SimpleTicket code is releasing the source code for their RSS feed tools. The source code is being released using the GPL.* Each tool was written using Ruby on Rails. If you review the code you will note that each tool was built at a different time. See if you can guess which tool was first and which was last. As promised:
- elfURL ~ URL Shortner [source code link to svn]
- FeedVault ~ OPML file storage [source code link to svn]
- FrankenFeed ~ RSS feed merger [source code link to svn]
- InstantFeed ~ RSS feeds via email [source code link to svn]
- QwikPing ~ Ping Server [source code link to svn]
- SocialMail ~ RSS via email [source code link to svn]
The repositories can be accessed either by browser or via the svn client. The svn username is “anonymous” and the password is blank.
* To be clear, it is our intent that anyone who modifies the code MUST release those modifications publicly. If you modify the code for use as your own hosted service we require that you release the modified code. Get it? There is some confusion about this point in the open source community. The license explains that you are required to do so if you distribute or publish the code and some argue that a hosted application does not constitute “distribution” or “publishing” of the code and as such you are not required to release the modifications. We understand the confusion, but want to be very clear, for the purposes of our license hosting the source code for other’s use constitutes distribution or publication of the binary code. This is detailed in the source code files as well. Enjoy!
