+

+Another step on the way. Now basic signup is possible.
+Users and credential will be stored in gdbm files.
+If you do not want to signup you can use the pre created
+guest account to login.
+username: guest
+password: guest
+This user will not be available if you build your own
+version of taskrambler.
+
+The signup and login can be testes by clicking on +signup or login in the menu. A popup should occur where +you can enter the neccessary informations. Currently +no sanity checks are done on the given data. The key +is the email address. +
+ ++If you signup with an email address +that is already in the database nothing happens, else +a user will be created and logged in. +
+ ++After a successful login the first and surname will be +visible in the upper right corner of the page. +
+ ++Additionally to the name you can find the version, +session id as well as an indicator how long the session +lasts. A session lasts 5 minutes since the last preocessed +request. +
+ ++
+ + Here you will find links to snapshots, but please + keep in might that this is an unfinished project. + It also will contain some links. +
++ Also this is not ready at all I create tags as +well as tarballs from revisions I think of as stable. +Currently the following tarballs are available: +
+ + + ++ Well, as taskrambler is not ready now I have to +use another project management system to organize this +project. The redmine project page for this project can be +found +here. +
+ +
+
++ + Welcome to taskrambler, the multi user task organization + and management tool. If you ever felt working together + is difficult and I really don't know whats going on at + the moment this tool might be helpful. +
++ Right now this is a HTTP server. It's written from +scratch in C and serves as the user interface provider for +taskrambler. +
+ ++ It delivers static assets placed within the project +to webbrowsers. In fact the pages you read right now are +delivered by taskrambler. +
+ ++ The plan is to build a multi user task +management system inspired by + + taskwarrior. +Users may log in and manage the tasks they have to do. +Priorize them, assign them to projects, track the time +spend on a given task and so on. +Users also can configure who would be able to see what +task and users with special roles, like managers will +be able to see all tasks of their team, etc. +It will be possible to create reports about what work was +done etc. +
+ ++ Additionally this will serve as a ticket system. +Tasks may be assigned to users and all the things +possible with a ticket system will be possible here too. +So this will combine a personal task management tool with a +ticket system. Thus providing a getting things done tool +that will improve the productivity of all persons working +on a project. +
+ ++ It is not another web server and it is not a +web application as you might be used to. It will not run +under any given web server. It brings it's own web server. +
+ ++ About two year ago I stepped across the + + C10k +problem. At that time, and in fact still right now, I don't +feel experienced enough to face this problem. But anyway, +it made me curious. Curious if I would be able to write an +HTTP server by my own. So I started work on this. +
+ ++ Well, there are enough web servers available +right now, even the C10k problem has brought up some really +interesting exemplars. So I decided not to build another +multi purpose HTTP server application but try another thing. +I wanted to build an application with a user interface +provided via browser. But what kind of application. +
+ ++ At the time I started this I was working for +bigpoint, which is one of the worlds biggest browser +game providers. So the first answer was obviously to build +a game. But soon I realized that it needs much to build +a game from scratch. You need a fascinating storyboard, +well ballancing and game design and so on. So I dropped this +idea again. +
+ ++ Approximately at the same time I started working +with + + taskwarrior which I found a really useful tool. +I thought what about making something like this but for +multiple users. It is pretty clear to you what you need for +this and it would be cool to have something like this... +and with some luck there are others who might be interested in +such a thing too. +
+ ++ From the first day on the idea was to build +this completely in C. This primary decision for this was +that I really like the language and it had been a very long +time since I last had the opportunity to do something in that +language. Maybe another reason was that I had the hope to +compete with some of the other C10k webservers. And well, +taskrambler does not perform to bad at all. I did not +choose C++ also I like some of the object oriented +concepts because as most other OOP languages I think of +it as bloated with stuff I never need. Please don"t flame +on this, its only my opinion. +
+ ++ There are three things I really like in OOP, +objects and their definition via classes, interfaces +and inheritance. Why? Because if you ask me the whole topic +is about reusability and maintanability. +Obviously a well designed class is reusable. What makes +it well defined? It implements an interface an reacts in +a sane way on it. Well and inheritance is "sometimes" a good +way to prevent duplicate code. +
+ ++ Some time ago I had read a book called + +Object oriented programming with ANSI-C from +Axel-Tobias Schreiner. It has some really interesting +concepts in it but goes a step to for for my taste with +creating an own code preprocessor and other things. Anyway +this was the base of a class like code framework which +consists mostly of preprocessor code and some C code lines, +as well as a code convention. +This gives me the possibility to implement a well defined +interface on various objects. I can extend and inject +classes. All objects have a constructor and a destructor and +if needed a clone constructor. +Finishing this was the first building block of taskrambler. +
+ ++ The next goal was a working HTTP server +implementation. I created a lot of classes, rewrote then +dropped them again and thought about other solutions. +At a given point I was really disappointed because on heave +load the servers droped connection and I was unable to +find out why. At that point I stopped working on this for +over a year. But now I started again added some new cool +code and think that the connection wasn"t been dropped by +taskrambler but by the kernel. Shortly before I loose +connection I found a kernel log entry that says that +syn flood protection was been activated. +
+ ++ Right now this is an HTTP server that is able +to handle cookies, speeks SSL and implements the subset +of the HTTP protocol that I need. It performs not to bad +but others should mesure this, I have no time for this. +I know a lot of places where optimization is still possible. +
