Online collaborative software planning.

General Idea: Plan software with other people through an easy to use online interface that allows for simultaneous changes in a manner similar to Google Docs. Acts as a better substitute for UML and other similar tools for describing interactions between the design of software. (Python implementation of a partially working concept done at PennApps)

Specific Goals: Set up a webserver on EC2 with the correct packages and have Flask running on top of nginx: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/deploying/uwsgi/#starting-your-app-with-uwsgi Integrate a working NoSQL database (Mongo, DynamoDB, Cassandra) into our application as both a convenience and a learning opportunity Automatically scaffold code based on the class diagram and any underlying methods/attributes present Use javascript libraries to graphically diagram applications in the form of CRC cards with arrows representing relationships

Using websockets, automatically update the app for all users in a team at the same time without refreshing the page

Make the app as light as possible, eliminate any overhead that doesn’t have a use; be pythonic

Team Members: Boyang Niu, David Xu, Patrick Hulce

Division of labor: Front-End - General Front-End - Graphical Representation Database Interaction WebSocket/Client Interaction

Packages: Flask (to serve the pages) Socket.IO (https://github.com/abourget/gevent-socketio, http://socket.io/) (to process updates) MongoDB ORM (MongoKit, MongoEngine)
