This is the repository for the PandaBoards (http://pandaboards.com) Developers to publish portions of the source code, documentation of internal APIs and modified versions of other Open-Source Projects that have been used (according to their respective licenses).
PandaBoards-specific source-code is published under the MIT License.
Any modified open-source code is licensed under their original licenses.
The PandaBoards team is planning to release a public API for modification development, to allow our users to better extend their forums' features. This source code is provided for a reference to our internal code (sometimes merely method definitions are retained).
As of the more recent revisions, we have also included more thorough parts of our code that was customized for better usage of CakePHP in our projects, and handy snippets of code that may serve as useful in your own CakePHP (and Twitter Bootstrap-based) projects - see the View/Helper/IrisHelper.php or View/Helper/IrisIOHelper.php for example.
We hope that our contributions to the Open-Source community can benefit everyone.
PandaBoards was developed to be secure, but coffee sometimes does no good to that (not to mention 20K+ sloc in two weeks). If any routines within the shared code is found to be insecure, please do report it to us! You wouldn't take that to your advantage, would you? :)
We do not believe in security through obscurity, therefore we are opening up a major part of our security-related processing code (with minor changes, for example hiding our crypto key) for public viewing.
This code is nowhere near complete - it's just a portion of the full PB source (> 20k SLoC) that is run live.
We encourage any developers to discover potential issues or develop enhancements within this source.
We are open to providing developers with appropriate documentation on PandaBoards, BoltEngine (The backend framework, derived from CakePHP) and other components if they are interested in developing for our platform.
