EVE Technology Lab

I'd just like to voice my support for Osmium getting access to the SSO, I've been watching the project carefully and really feel like it's something special that would benefit massively from an intelligent, active developer implementing an amazing feature like SSO.

I'd like to chime in with my support as one of the "occasional commit here and there" people. I would be thrilled to see SSO come to Osmium, and I'm happy to throw some additional effort behind this. By day, I work on APIs to support third-party developers at a software company (not gaming), so I'm familiar with how valuable beta developers are for getting feedback on APIs and docs... I'd love to be part of this process for EVE :)

i'm already working on a commenting system that will be as easy to integrate as simply putting in some javascript tag - very much like disqus and others. The advantage is that theres only one application that needs to integrate the SSO, over a plugin approach where each running site would have to register with the SSO program.

While I am not a web site, I am willing and able to tackle this from a mobile point of view and contribute in integration with at least Android and add SSO to my public Java Eve API.

Count me in!

A link to your web site?

https://element-43.com We're a completely open, neutral open source project.


What will SSO do for your sites users? For example beyond user management does your site have a commenting system?

SSO would greatly simplify the whole registration/activation/password recovery process for our ~600 users. We could also verify corporation/alliance membership which would enable us to finally add some proper management tools for corps and alliances. On top of that SSO would nicely integrate into our existing REST API allowing us to create private read/write API endpoints providing access to aggregated personal market data (watchlist, shopping list...), industry project status reports, notifications...


How many developers are working on your site

Currently I am maintaining the project on my own, which is a little sad - there are 2-3 more or less active developers who have contributed code in the past.

I'd really love to have more devs working on the project again. It's a shame that I have to dedicate most of the time I'm spending on element43 to maintenance work like managing the servers, updating the SDE and static assets or optimizing backend code - that's stuff most users won't notice. Since large parts of the boilerplate code required for an universal 3rd party EVE web application (market data consumer, full SDE import scripts and their ORM models, fronted layout, basic REST API, registration/authentication, API key management, lots of market data views, asynchronous EVE API import and error handling code etc.) have already been written, the whole thing is just waiting for someone to add features to it. So if you're reading this and you are a developer, please consider contributing to element43. I have written a tutorial and automated setup script for a dev environment for you.

We offer secure hosting, documentation, probably the largest EVE market data database in the world and a solid codebase which allows you to add new features very fast. I don't really know what else one could offer as an open 3rd party EVE tool today.

Sorry for that rant - it just saddens me that progress has been so slow in the past year, even though it would be so simple to add a wealth of features for our users if we just had 2-3 more active devs.

Using it for login. Login allows commenting, changing personal or character Settings. Features that rely more on character/corporation Data are currently being developed.


www.eve-ads.com
Using it for login. Login allows corporation/alliances the creation of adverts that are displayed for relevant search queries on my-eve.com

Only 1 developer, not going to change anytime soon.

I used to own eve-ads.com :)

Wrote an advertising site that never got released. Good to see someone else took it further than I did.

I didn't post in this thread initially because it stated it was only for EVE SSO.
However I'm going to echo Ferria's request and ask for SSO support for Dust, and offer my site for when it is availab.e

Site: http://dusttimers.com/
Why I want SSO: It would allow me to authenticate a user as belonging to a corp. I'd then be able to open up editing of corp timers such as

• descriptions, allowing people to flag if it is an attack, training op, etc.
• Link timers from one corp to another. Members could log in, indicate that they are a ringers for a battle, and the timer would then be listed when corp members check.

Number of developers: Just myself

Hey guys,

The SSO trial so far is going amazingly well. We are however taking a bit longer to get ready for the next step, opening up for anyone to register freely.

Due to that taking longer we would like to continue accepting more people into the limited trial. If you would like to be considered, and we reserve the right to pick and choose who we want, please consider the following requirements and then apply in this thread.

• You must be using this for a web application. Downloadable applications will have to wait until we open it up.
• Your web site must be open to the public and not charge or restrict access in anyway.
• No gambling web sites.
• We also consider people who are looking to make open source plugins, like someone who is creating a plugin for EDK.

If you are wondering whats required in implementing the SSO check out the documentation here: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_SSO_Documentation

I am out for the weekend now. Be sure to keep an eye on your EVE mail to see if we contact you. :)

Fly safe guys... or not... I prefer the not part. :P
