Codendi Webinar

Posted by Álvaro Olmedo at Mar 17, 2010 06:05 PM |

The past 18th of february we joined to the Codendi webinar. The speaker was Eric Pimienta he talked about Codendi.

Codendi start to be developed ten years ago (2000), it was called CodeX, by the Xerox Research Centre Europe. It's based on the SourceForge.net code (2.0 version, November 2000) and distributed under GPL v2 license. Actually 8 workers of Xerox and the community is working in Codendi.
The Codendi web site shows a lof of information, for example, the difference between the codendi versions, in the services page, "Codendi Pro Services Subscription" and other services are described.
Also they have a blog where, recently, thay announced a new service: Codendi SaaS.

About the features of Codendi described for Eric, we emphasize:

  • Instant Messaging
  • Wiki (phpwiki)
  • Contiuos Integration (Hudson)
  • Improvements in the tracker: workflows, permissions,...
  • Eclipse Integration
  • MyPage customizable with editables panels
  • Manage the documentation of each project with a tool
  • Plugin to show the tweets that mention the project

Morover, Codendi has improved the code it is based on, taking into account some interesting design patterns, a new plugin system has been implemented and some of the classes used to manage users objects into the code and so on have been refactorized. Other things like checks in forms has been improved since the Codendi team took the original code.


Eric told us about Coclico, a french project related with the forges where several projects related with forge are involved: Codendi, NovaForge, FusionForge (ex-GForge), QualiPSo, InriaForge, Picoforge y Savane.
