Hello and welcome to the Education Systems - Common Services Framework wiki.

This wiki space is intended as a guide for developers and others to the Common Services Framework (CSF). This is what we call the foundation that most of our web applications are built on. CSF replaces the older "SAIS Common" framework, and is designed in a more modular fashion.

One of the main aims of the wiki is to help developers get the answers to these questions:

Where can I find stuff?

There is a lot of good stuff in CSF, but it's not always obvious what's there and where to find it. We want this wiki to help you learn what's available so you can just use it, rather than spend time writing your own version.

Where do I put stuff?

Sometimes we need to add new stuff to CSF and it may not be clear where it should go. Our wiki is here to help you put stuff in the right place.

How should I do stuff?

What are our coding standards? Should I use annotations? All these questions and more will be answered by the wiki.

And if you have a question that isn't covered here, drop us a line: csf-support@mit.edu.
