Can't forget about Redis and MongoDB as the cache/database servers!

I've done some research and think the following plan would work out great for Sakai: 

Front End: 


    1. Front-End app with AngularJS & ReactJS 
    2. We can use compiled SASS and CoffeeScript libraries for the design and UI 

Back End: 


    1. Ruby on Rails with GO! for a few of the more advanced libraries. 

Systems 


    1. Vagrant for the self-hosted VM's for each community 
    2. Chef to help each community configure them for their systems

Sounds pretty ambitious to me. I think we should limit scope, get things working with tape. Leave the grade calculations to human computers until we get there.

It needs to work on my first gen Kindle. A text interface makes a lot of sense. It needs to wrap ok, too.

Thanks Miguel. 

Yes, very good points. See my suggestions inline.

Hi Neal, 

I suggest to minimize the number of code lines, my 32MB hard disk does not have too much capacity :( 




I think one way to do this is to truncate the code to the point that it fits and subtract an additional 3 characters and put the word "END". The computer should figure out that is all that is available and make it work with whatever it has got. Of course, that is not i18n compatible so maybe we need a resource string instead?

Also teachers will be happy if they have some console interface to insert the grades in Gradebook, reading a text file with some format or something :)

This could help towards the code reduction! Nice thinking!

Hi sakai-dev, 

Some discussion in the community about starting Sakai over from scratch. 

A couple of the leading architectural suggestions include: 

* Writing Sakai completely in Hypercard and using Docker for code distribution to each person's local machine. If necesssary including a 1996 Mac emulator in the bundle. For the occassional "multi-user" version you will need a server to which all the Hypercard stacks are sent, and then use Perl to process the data. 

* A DIY kit of 6502 microprocessors for speedy 8 bit processing. Each kit will include a series of 128 pre-programmed ROMs that can be connected in serial to provide the Sakai program. Don't worry, we will not need to write this in Assembly, we will use Cobol on a time share for the development. 


Other ideas welcome. This is the "brainstorm" stage. 

Cheers, 
Neal
