Leaker is a project mainly written in RUBY and COFFEESCRIPT, it's free.
Translate and comment leaks
A simple tool for reading, translating and commenting wikileaks cables. Currently is on very early stage (alpha) and hosted on http://leaker.heroku.com
You need knowledge in Rails 3.1 applications (asset pipeline is used, some client code is written using coffeescript) and, obiously, ruby skills.
Look at routes.rb is a recommended place to start. Take a look also to the schema.rb (and the models). Don't miss the gems used (little bit commented at Gemfile file)
For the css the excelent bootstrap library from twitter is used: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap
Unfortunately there's only little documentation, and no tests are done (yet).
The application is a simple Rails 3.1 app, divied in three parts:
This is what the user sees. It uses all the controllers inside app/controllers folder (but not sub-folders) except ClientController.
Its a traditional web application.
This is the admin section. Based on this post: http://iain.nl/backends-in-rails-3-1 (reading recommended).
Uses all the controllers inside the app/controllers/backend folder (and the same for the views: app/views/backend)
It was the first attempt to build Laker, but a one-page client application (even using Backbone.js) is hand and tedious to build.
Currently is not in use. Keeped for historical and educational purposes.
