Just an online learning system
bovine was created with a simple goal; to create an online learning system that works. A virtual classroom with all the bull power, none of the feces. bovine will provide a wide range of features that will enable teachers and instructors to stop worrying about management and syntax issues and get back to doing what their good at.
bovine is aimed towards a system that will allow for easy integration of modules and stylesheets through npm, while providing a simple, user-friendly interface that anyone can work with comfortably. Upon initial startup, bovine will search for existing configuration objects in the database. If none are found, a new configuration object is created to help you get started.
As the project does not seem to have much wind behind it's sails and the demand for it seems to be virtually nonexistent, I am announcing an indefinite hiatus of the project.
As the sole contributor, I have other projects I would like to focus on that may have more demand and be more useful for the general populus, which is the main goal of my projects-- to create free, open-source projects that can be help others.
Shall any additional contributors wish to push code to this repository, I will graciously accept it. If another developer would like to become the maintainer of the project, I may consider transferring ownership if it means the project will excel. At the time of writing, I am unsure of future involvement in the project.
To install bovine, simply run npm install bovine. Once installed, the server can be started with npm start or through node app.js
When run using node app.js, bovine will accept the launch parameters host ([--host | --h | -h hostname]), port ([--port | --p | or -p port]), environment ([--env | --e | -e { 0 for production, 1 for development, 2 for testing } ])
