Adhocracy 3 - application/framework for online participation projects

Note

This isn’t meant for general consumption at this stage. Many expected things do not work yet!

What is adhocracy?

Adhocracy 3 aims to be a:

• python framework to build a REST-API backend for cms-like applications with a focus on participation processes and collaborative text work.
• javascript framework to build SinglePageApplication frontends.

It comes with these features out of the box:

• Generic REST-API based on the following concepts:
  • Hypermedia REST API: loose coupling frontend/backend, no fixed endpoints, (only half implemented, possible future:A3 Hypermedia REST-API)
  • Supergraph: Resources are versioned and build non hierachical data structures with other Resources, Versions never change, see Concept: The Supergraph and Concept: Simulating Patches with The Supergraph. (only half implemented, Problem: build a usable REST-API on top of this concept).
• Generic API Specifiaction to build generic frontend (see REST-API)
• Generic Admin interface (not implemented yet)
• Resource and workflow modellings for participation processes.
• SinglePageApplication frontends and backend customizations for specific participation projects
