The Blueprint Code Manager is more of a complete system that would allow users to create a “blueprint” of what their final software product would look like on disk or downloaded, and then generate the image from subversion repositories.

Right now, I’m working on an AIR application that user group managers can use to connect to their user group websites. Provided the site is running on Joomla, they can authenticate through the AIR app against the Joomla site. The vision is that at a user group meeting, the people who come in can sign in on the application (through a laptop at the entrance) using their website credentials. They’ll be given an option to register if they haven’t yet. Logging in allows the user group managers to keep track of who attended as well as give an interface to prize drawings. For user groups that keep track of participation, there can be weighted drawings so that members who participate more will have more of a chance of winning.
It’s currently in it’s baby stages. I am in need of experience creating Joomla extensions so if you have developed Joomla 1.5 extensions before and feel pretty comfortable using PHP, I could really use your expertise. This especially applies if you’ve ever used AMFPHP with a Flash/Flex application.
Informal roadmap:
- Get AIR application to connect and authenticate using a Joomla website.
- Create interface for AIR application
- Create Joomla plugin that creates the necessary database tables
- Create Joomla administrator section to manage the entries
- Get AIR application to manage participation points
- Develop animated prize drawing portion of AIR app
