FreePDM

A PDM for FreeCAD.

After a long time of thinking I came to the conclusion that only having JSON interfaces with the client would be sufficient. That is, I think, now is the best way to communicate with the client. I don't think that having a web page is the right choice, but having a client is a better approach because then the server would have to do a lot less, which means more stable, and also the client can be anything such as a Windows app, Linux app and a Mac app, and maybe in the long future a mobile app.

The PDM Server page

This page is a long list of things that need to be done. Don't expect one thing working. It just isn't done yet. The list of TODO's is very long.

Basic functionality

• Commands (/command) for ordinary functions such a ls, mv, rename, copy, chdir

User accounts

• Login (/admin/login) - a simple login form with username admin and password admin.
• Rename (/admin/rename) - a form to rename the admin account.
• Home (/admin) - the home page for the admin user.
