Ruby on Rails to power 13,000 schools with 7million+ students in Kerala, India

I do know that the project is being developed actively, although I believe the team has continued using subversion internally rather than move the project to github. Only the major versions are being pushed to github and the daily commits go to the subversion repo.

As for the fat controllers, I have to take the blame for that myself. A lot of the awful code was written by me over two years ago when I had close to zero programming experience. I am no longer working at Foradian (the team that developed Fedena), and haven't been able to undo the damage I left behind. :)

I do hope that the project will eventually move to github so that the OSS community (and former developers of the project like myself) could help improve the code. Would love to hear what the folks currently working on the project think of the idea.

Hey nithin :) We are thinking of keeping two branches in github - a stable one (for people to download and use ) , another development branch - to which we will be accepting all the patches , including the changes here from foradian. Planning to set this thing up in a week or two.

See your patches soon :) , Good day.

I think GitHub also supports Subversion by now, maybe they missed that?
