- nl 13y agoIt doesn't (thankfully). :( SIF is a bloated mess. It is indeed. Are you interested in international (Australia) expansion?

- dingvarson 13y agoHuh? SIF used to be complex, but now its simple. It uses the same approach as Clever http[s]://<hostname>/<SIFObject Name>s[/{id}|<SIF Object Name>]. Thats very similar to Clever. So how can it be bloated, or maybe your not experienced with SIF? Which NSIP.edu.au can help you with. try http://sif.dd.com.au/SIFDirectRest/sif/v2_5/objects/au/v1_3/StudentPersonals http://sif.dd.com.au/SIFDirectRest/sif/v2_5/objects/au/v1_3/....
- nl 13y agoHi Dan ;) I think you'll find that's SIF 3. I think that last time we spoke there was only one SIF 3 deployment around, and that was a pilot. All production instances are SIF 2 - or has that changed recently? As I've said previously - I quite like the SIF data model, but I'm not keen on the SIF 2 programming model (to be fair - as many have said: it's pretty old software now). The SIF 3 programming model is a lot better.
- dingvarson 13y agoHey What a laugh - to meet you on here. Yes my comments were about SIF 3.x. Now that said the best thing that happens with SIF is that schools and Edu Authorities get their Data into order - so it can be used properly externally - WHILE - it remains under their control. So this means ALL the SIF 2.x projects can migrate to SIF 3.x with a update to the software (as I pointed to its on GetHub) - but they dont have to change the data, the business events, their authorisation etc. So SIF 3.x bring both a low entry option for those wanting to share there data and a migration path for those existing. I have a full online course in SIF 3.x and the Open Source Framework if you want to learn more.
