Gestion

Allows for handling of day-to-day tasks in a small school, think cultural center that offers classes.

For the cultural center-part, the following functions are implemented:

• Rights management (for students, secretary, director, admin, ...)
• Creation of courses (using templates for different courses)
  • Sign up of students to courses
  • Entering grades of students
  • Creating diplomas
• Accounting
  • Payments of students
  • Internet-usage
  • Other, simple 2-way accounting

There is also a network-part which has the following functions:

• Sharing with samba (public, read and read-write access)
• Internet-gateway using usb-modems or Ethernet-port
• Access-control of students when installed as captive gateway
• Controlling internet-credit, works for now only for Chad

It has been tested on ArchLinux running on different ARM-boxes (Dreamplug, Smileplug and Cubox-i). Most of the parts also run on Ubuntu.

The user-interface is using http://QooxDoo.org with a ruby-back-end called QooxView. Different libraries are used:

• AfriCompta - simple accounting program for QooxView
• HelperClasses - some modules to make life easier
• HilinkModem - interface for the infamous hilinkmodems which lack USSD-support!
• Network - captive interface and usb-modems definition
• QooxView - RPC backend for QooxDoo, also implementing a simple ActiveRecord backend with CSV-files
• SerialModem - interface for simple ttyUSB-modems

Unfortunately there is no gem-package available as yet. But a pacman-version exists that you can download under http://github.com/ineiti/Gestion/releases/latest

If you're adventurous, you can try the following:

for s in AfriCompta Gestion HelperClasses HilinkModem Network QooxView SerialModem; do
  git clone https://github.com/ineiti/$s
done
cd Gestion
./Gestion

Which 'should work' (tm).
