Welcome to the OpenAutonomy Wiki!

High-level starting-points:

• [OA Distribution] - The contents of the standard "oa_dist.zip" package.
• [WhyOpenAutonomy] - A background of the reasons why this project was created.
• [WhatOpenAutonomy] - What OpenAutonomy does.
• [HowOpenAutonomy] - Details of the design of the software.
• [CompatibleImplementations] - The requirements which must be met to make compatible identities and applications without using the reference implementation.

Tools:

• [p2pc] - PHP-to-PHP "Compiler"

Dependencies of the PHP code:

• PHP XML-RPC - there are various PHP libraries to support XML client and server implementations but this one seems the easiest to deploy in any environment (we have tested in on high-end KVM servers, Raspberry Pi deployments, and restrictive web hosts without issue). NOTE: A copy of this source is included in the repository and a compiled version of the source is included in the oa_dist.zip package.

Dependencies of the HTML and JavaScript:

Note that these dependencies are served from their respective CDNs and are not included in the oa_dist and do not need to be loaded onto the web server running OpenAutonomy.

• Twitter Bootstrap - An excellent project for creating clean and good-looking user interfaces which react to screen size dynamically on each device. This is what allows the layout to only be specified in a few small files and still behave in a way which makes sense on desktop, tablet, and mobile web browsers.
• AngularJS - A very powerful framework for building data binding support to JavaScript applications using HTML views.
• JQuery - A commonly used project which makes the management of many common JavaScript idioms much easier. It is required by some OpenAutonomy JavaScript as well as Bootstrap and AngularJS.

Miscellaneous:

• [FAQ] - Frequently Asked Questions
• [OaXmlRpc.js] - The stand-alone JavaScript object for interacting with XML-RPC servers
