observations and reports

We’re happy to announce that we’re releasing a huge part of tarpipe core components as Open Source. This release, called the Tarpipe Community Edition, is a workflow processing application written in Erlang composed by the following modules:

• workflowmanager: an application that can manage the processing of a workflow, given its XML description;
• modelserver: an XSD models server;
• tarpipeutils: a collection of Erlang modules used by the other applications;
• configserver: our distributed configuration server.

This is the code we’re using on our own servers and we’ll be pushing any relevant updates into the Tarpipe Community Edition as well. Additionally, we’ve created repositories for our API 2.0 library and also for a sample connector, which can be a skeleton for any external connectors developed by you:

• TarpipeAPI2.0Client: the API 2.0 library, including OAuth support;
• TarpipeSampleConnector: a sample connector code and XML definition;

Because all the code is hosted on github, it will be easier to track any changes, bugs or other relevant information. Make sure you watch our repositories on github to be the first to know whenever any code is updated or released. eCouch, which was also open-sourced by us will still be available at Google Code.
