Converge

NOTE: Not usable. Not a single feature is usable. Stop looking.

Collaboration and Communication platform. Currently mostly for discussions. If I would add the buttons for posting things.

It also provides some other fun, like:

• task management (rudimentary)
• activity streams (rudimentary, in progress)
• content publishing (rudimentary, in progress)
• converging all other kinds of communications, like IM and email (to be done)

See? We are disruptive. Innovative. What do you want more? A finished app?

OMGz!

This project is mostly about a few ideas I had while working on other projects.

Some neat things being worked on in the introduce-xset branch and converge-entity (written in Ceylon)

Requirements

• PHP 5.6 (may work fine with PHP 7, HHVM)
  • PDO
• (currently) MySql
  • as we are currenty (still) using Doctrince, other database engines should work, too. no warranty.

Installation

Application

1. Install dependencies with Composer
2. Run the scripts/install.php with your favorite PHP distribution. It will also set up the first user.

• If you want, also run seed_default_tags.php and seed_task_properties.php from the directory.

1. Have the /cache/ directory writable (by whoever runs the following command + who runs PHP in the web server context)
2. Run composer rsrc:compile to compile all static resources (LESS, JavaScript [not minified yet])

Webserver

• Point your webserver at /webroot/ (for regular PHP-generated HTML) or /angular/ (for experimental and feature-incomple Angular frontend)

For /webroot/ variant:

• Additionally configure your webserver to serve all non-files from app.php
