I looked at dogfort, and discussed the possibility of extending it's functionality as a GSOC project with Bodil, to which she agreed. Here's the proposal we came up with: Extending dogfort for real world use Brief explanation: Node.js provides a lightweight and fast server implementation, that’s commonly used for real time applications. Although its possible to make clojurescript applications targeting nodejs, the current experience is far from pleasant. Partly due to node’s heavy use of callback hell, and partly because most existing node libraries are heavily object oriented and imperative. Dogfort (https://github.com/bodil/dogfort) is a nice proof of concept , inspired by ring and compojure, that abstracts out quite a few of these issues.
Expected results: An improved version of dogfort that can be put to real world use. New features include: - sessions - cookies - authentication middleware - socket.io abstraction - route filtering middleware ** Knowledge prerequisites: Familiarity with nodejs Mentor: Bodil Stokke Can someone with confluence access add it to the Project Ideas page? Thanks!
