Contacts.app

(I add .app for no reason)

It is very work in progress; you can barely count it as functional!

For awhile, you had to actually download two components and start three servers manually. Now, as long as you have a few prerequisites, everything should work!

No-Back-End-Method (SproutCore as only prerequisite)

If you just run sc-server in the project directory, it should already work using fixtures.

Prerequisites (that I know of):

• Python 2.6 (or 2.5 w/simplejson)
• twisted (package for Python)
• django
• SproutCore (and all that entails)
• Edited core.js to enable Django back-end.

To download:

git clone git://github.com/ialexi/Contacts contacts

To initialize all submodules and set up the sample database:

cd contacts python contacts.py setup

It will show everything it does.

Now, change apps/contacts/core.js to enable the back-end by uncommenting the line for the django back-end.

To run:

python contacts.py start

And it should now be running! contacts.py starts all three servers (sc-server, Dobby, and django).

sc-server will proxy both the Comet server and the Django server. You should be able to open up two browser windows to: http://localhost:4020/contacts

If you change something in one, the changes should automatically appear in the other. There are some issues with deleting contacts (refreshing fixes these).

Good luck. :)
