We are pleased to announce the release of Simal v0.2-rc1
Simal is a framework for building project registries. Using Simal you can quickly collate details about projects and participants. This data can then be accessed via a command line tool for scripting, a RESTful API for mashups or a web application for humans.
OSS Watch use Simal to track information about open sourcesoftware projects. However, it need not be limited to software projects.
As a 0.2 release it’s not feature rich nor is it pretty, but it is truly useful (we use it ourselves).
Key features include:
- Ability to import DOAP from the local filesystem or a remote URL
- AJAX browsers for finding people or projects
- Fully categorised listings
- Export of RDF data models
- RESTful API
If you fancy taking a look you have three choices:
- Play with a live demo of the latest developments
- Download and install the binary releases
- Download the latest sources and build them locally
