Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

This is a development version of Baïkal 2 - NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE.

Baïkal 2 is based on SabreDAV and Symfony2. Baïkal 2 is designed to be usable on PAAS hosting out-of-the-box (https://www.heroku.com/, https://scalingo.com/, etc.).

Have a look at the running demo here : http://baikal2.scalingo.io (Hosting graciously provided by Scalingo).

Fellow backend and frontend developers, we need your help !

The roadmap to version 2.0 is here: https://github.com/netgusto/Baikal/milestones/Ba%C3%AFkal%202.0.0

If you modified the frontend apps (located in web/apps/), make sure to build them before release:

$ npm run build

• Add unit tests
• Add "Todo list" feature
• Add "Notes" feature ?
• Add Import
• Add export
• Add calendar sharing
• Review Baïkal 1 github feature requests, and implement the most demanded ones.

If you are willing to participate, and know your way in whatever domain you want to help, please feel free to mail me at [email protected] (I have little time so please do not lose your patience if I don't answer :p)

For both http and https
