Overview of the XPages Scaffolding Project on OpenNTF

from one of my GitHub repositories: XPages

a number of features that I've built up over the years to make the process
of building a clean XPages app easier. These range from small utility features
like a flashScope object to larger frameworks such as the current versions
of my controller and model frameworks.

OpenNTF Gains Nonprofit Status
Tue, Sep 17th 2013 8:02a Peter Tanner OpenNTF has received word
from the US Internal Revenue Service that its nonprofit corporate status
application has been approved. We requested, and were granted 501(c)(4)
status. A 501(c)(4) company is one that exists "for the promotion
of social welfare". In other words the IRS recognizes that we
do good stuff that benefits others.
The importance of this
is that it greatly simplifies the annual financial/tax reporting that we

permission (such as saying that the code is under the Apache license) before
you are legally able to use the posted code.
Perhaps the worst offender for was GitHub
