Deme in Rails

Administrator — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 19:50:13 +0000

We are excited to announce an architectural release of Deme (0.7 Skeletal) written in the web framework Ruby on Rails. The free, open source software is released under the Affero GPL and is available to view / download on our Trac page. Our documentation is also online.

Please bear in mind that this is an architectural release of Deme, with limited functionality. Check back often, as new features will be added regularly as they are developed.

New technical paper available

Administrator — Sat, 17 Dec 2005 08:53:11 +0000

While you’re waiting for the new version of Deme, Ben Newman (Deme Team developer) has written a course paper detailing how he’s solved a vexing problem for programming the new version’s interface: the “hidden fields” limitation in JavaScript’s inheritance scheme. His library-based approach, building on Prototype, is described here [pdf file].
