Has anybody here had any experience installing either Wekan or Taiga?
I'm having a nightmare getting it going.
I´ve been using Trello or Jira so far. Wekan looks similarly to Trello I found
https://sandstorm.io/ which is self-hostable
web productivity suite and have Wekan already included and have some other quite interesting features.
Thanks for the heads up.
Urban_idler, could you take a look at sandstorm and tell me what you think?
Bigmo -- sandstorm looks cool. Thank you for the heads up!
Sandstorm is of interest for two reasons:
1. The ability to self host so that we could have the tools used by the team available on the platform.
2. Their approach to containerization and the quality of their development team.
Two of the issues for us now are (1) developing applications to work on the crown platform or which can be ported to the platform -- part of API design is having actual use cases, (2) within that thinking about different strategies for how one would deploy the applications and contain/encapsulate the applications running on the platform.
I PM'd stonehedge and he is going to take a look at it. As stated before -- I'm new to this stuff and learning, but I know what the goal is, or what I would like for Crown to be able to build... and we will need help from the community to do it.
I/we appreciate your help.
Bigmo:
Crowncoin_Knight says he remembers you from your earlier involvement in the project. Always good to have people come back.
The name of the game for CRW at this point is to build the community -- and part of the business model of CRW is for the core team to develop the capabilities of the core code -- which is the focus right now, and will hopefully always be the focus. This focus for the core team is alluded to in the crown papers.
What this means though is that there are opportunities for entrepreneurs to build different businesses and services around the core. These would include things like the wallet you developed or getting on Bitsquare -- or Bittrex, which is really just another business operating on the platform.
I know the team has discussed Bitsquare and Shapeshift and other things as desirable services -- but we also know that more of these things will happen and we will attract more folks to the community if we can just deliver on the vision we have set out.
The first steps of that vision for the core team are trimming down the Crown core to what is "permanent" or relatively permanent and hopefully doing a few things to not just trim it down but also speed it up. This differentiation between what is temporary and what is permanent is also discussed in the papers -- privacy tends to be associated with ephemeral/temporary content and a crypto platform should differentiate between records which need to be kept forever and those which shouldn't. The idea that any part of a permanent record is private is a little silly since it implicitly assumes that technology will not advance. The only true privacy comes from forgetting. But I digress... I'm the member of the group who reads too much and took too many philosophy classes so I know I drive some people crazy, sorry about that.
The second step is to make it all conversational. People gossip, so should your software. So that's the API. Then the third step is building the "journal" or the sandbox which is where you do temporary things and the really gossipy part of the software. Or that's what I think but I am more of a philosopher than a programmer... Not really rocket science -- just work.
Just letting you know what we're focused on right now. Appreciate your work on the wallet and any progress or perspectives on other services.

First, let me briefly answer on your previous post to make sure I´m not ignoring your valuable philosophical and analytical contributions!
I fully agree that the main focus now, should be to build an active community which will contribute and support to the Crown ecosystem and build services on the top of Crown blockchain using Crown core build by the core team. And this is already happening, Android app, throne apps, "my" wallet and so on.
I went thru the white papers and have some overview where the project is heading and cannot wait to see the upcoming development progress made by core devs.
I´m not a big programmer by myself as well, my focus is more on project development, marketing, and sales which were my previous job during my almost 2 years experience in SatoshiLabs.
I can imagine Crown future something similar to
https://sdk.finance/ but in a far more decentralized way. I think if Crown wants to be widely recognized and easy to integrate platform easily integrable with other apps we need to develop something like Back-end-as-a-Service platform for companies which will leverage usage of the Crown core in the future and it is already happening with the APIs guys are already working on.
Great to hear Sandstorm could be something that could fit the team vision but I´m aware that it needs to be analyzed first.
I´m learning as well, and learning in the team is always "fun" and can bring different points of view, feedback and ways to solve a problem.
Also maybe this post about sandboxing ethereum dapps
https://blog.aragon.one/electron-metamask-secure-easy-to-use-dapps-5a9987d21034#.ncdokr8y9 may provide some info what could be the best way for Crown dapps.
As I mentioned before I almost forgot what happened in the past and trying to focus on what is important for the project and collaborate with the team.
However, my main focus now is to finalize the online Crown wallet because I can see there many potential use cases for Crown in near future. If there will be some member of the team who would be interested in working on the wallet with me it would be awesome.
