weft qda users - Mar 2008 - [Weft QDA users] Hello all

Hi, my name is Leandro and im Argentinian. I plan to build a web CMS
on ruby on rails, to provide CAQDAS functionality, and since im
building the site in Ruby on Rails and open source, i want to know if
Weft QDA engine is open source. If so, id would come in handy to be
able to reuse/improve an existing ruby based CAQDAS.

I''d like to emphasize the fact that i dont mean to profit from it, or
use it for a propietary closed-source proyect, just need a ruby based
CAQDAS to use in my rails project.

Thanks in advance, Leandro.

Yes, the Weft QDA source is under a public domain licence so you''re
free
to use it as you like. All the classes dealing with importing, coding, 
searching and storing etc are separate from the desktop GUI so you 
should fairly easily be able to provide a web front-end to them. I''d 
recommend using the code in Subversion as it''s more capable and better 
organised:

svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/weft-qda/trunk

Sounds like a worthwhile project and I''d be happy to collaborate with 
you on it, if you want to get in touch.
