"SODFA" (sofa + odf)

SODFA is a proof-of-concept offline couchdb/pouchdb application for editing ODF documents. It's an experiment in creating an application that can truly work offline and sync with an online database when the application goes online again.

Install instructions

  1. Create a virtualenv

    $ virtualenv . --system-site-packages

  2. Install buildout

    $ bin/pip install zc.buildout

  3. Run buildout

    $ bin/buildout -c development.cfg

  4. Initalize database

    $ bin/django syncdb --migrate

  5. Setup couchdb as described on http://pouchdb.com/getting-started.html, "Installing CouchDB". The included "setup_couch.sh" script may be of help. Set the admin user/password to admin/admin

    If you run couchdb on a different host/port or require different credentials, update them in views.py

  6. Start django

    $ bin/django runserver

And view the magic happen using a browser at http://localhost:8000.

You can create new accounts (and couchdb databases) by simply entering an available username and password.

Sodfa will synchronize the documents between multiple sessions (on the same account) using couchdb/pouchdb. An open document will nog be updated instantly, that's beyond the scope of this PoC. Documents can be edited offline.
