Greetings children of Bob,

For the past year or so, SSC has used a fork of Grim's Wh-Space tool for mapping, mashing in corp management functions as we've needed them. Because I didn't want to host a WIndows server anymore and the old codebase was getting crappier with each new feature, I've started rewriting our fork into a new project called Eve W-Space.

Today, I am announcing the public alpha release focusing on mapping functions.

From the README:
Quote:

Eve W-Space is, at its core, a wormhole mapping and intel tool for the MMORPG Eve Online. If you wish, it can be much more. It can be customized to fill roles from simple mapping applicaiton (with all extra features disabled) to the centerpiece of an entire alliance services infrastructure.

Eve W-Space is designed to be a single-tenant soulution hosted by a single corp or alliance. A fleixble permissions system allows for easily restricting data where needed.


The public alpha site is available at: https://alpha.evewspace.com/
Use the registration code: alpha

Eve W-Space is open source software, and code may be found at: http://marbindrakon.github.com/eve-wspace/

Eve W-Space is written in Python (and a lot of Javascript) on the Django framework.

Chat Channel: Eve W-Space

IRC Channel: #eve-wspace on Coldfront IRC

Most administration functions are incomplete, so running your own instance will require some manual admin work. Feel free to mail me questions, or ask them here. I will also provide a limited number of private testing instances for active groups.

Known Issues:


  • Users may experience problems pairing Eve W-Space's Alerts system with external jabber servers that compare JIDs in a case-sensitive manner. By default, EWS will ping a JID using the capitalization of the username as created.

Here is the current development roadmap:

0.3 (Pushed back to 1 August):

  • API key management and auditing
  • API based access control
  • Recruitment system

0.4:

  • Corp POS system
  • Corp Asset display with POS integration
  • Email and twitter alert methods

0.5:

  • Shopping cart
  • In-app notifications
  • Votes system


As always, this roadmap is subject to change based on many factors. For those interested in contributing, the repository will be switched to a git-flow style setup with the release of 0.2 which should make it easier for you to contribute. Also, I'll get some sort of test suite done at some point.

Neat, I always like to see what other people have done with scanning sites (I wrote the AHARM one, which is not public)

Awesome Marbin :) Can't wait to get the old mapping tools tossed out of the window entirely as bugs get squashed and the new features finished.

Good that you made it open source.
New wormhole alliances now have a usefull tool right of the bat and don't need to develop one.
I hope this helps get more people in w-space!

No local in null sec would fix everything!

Marbin's done a great job with this tool, everyone who's used it so far on our end only has good things to say, and he's been extremely responsive to all of our requests and input.

Keep up the good work!

It's not finished until it trolls us with robot unicorn attack pictures once a year?

Pasted the TODO file in to give an idea of the features that are planned to be considered feature complete.

The tool looks pretty awesome, it even rivals our own custom made apps.

Good job man

SECURITY ALERT:

Please remember to generate your own SECRET_KEY for use in settings.py. Django uses that key as a salt for many cryptographic functions so the one from the git repo is not the one to use. Define this in local_settings.py to override any value in the git repo.

New local_settings example now makes this more clear along with adding some actual comments.

this is a great tool, i have always wanted to have a tool weve hosted ourselves on our own server. It has a lot of stubs for corps to add in whatever they also want. once we finish tweaking this i suspect youll have TDSIN as a user

The tool is probably great but you should really consider to give it a different name because the current one is unusable.

"Dude, did you put the sigs into w-space?"
"Eh, what?"

This annoyed me with the old "wh-space" tool already. We just called it "the tool" to avoid confusion. The tool should have a distinct name that is not generic in w-space.
