Requires prior knowledge of CouchDB configuration and comfort with command-line database administration tools.
This repository, Moscow Yammer, is a tool that connects the MoSCoW prioritization method with Yammer, a workplace social network. MoSCoW is a popular framework for organizing work into four categories: Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have. The app likely lets teams sort their ideas, projects, or conversations from Yammer into these priority buckets so they can see at a glance what matters most. Under the hood, the project is built with JavaScript and runs on a platform called CouchDB. Unlike most web applications that require a separate backend server and database software, this tool runs entirely inside the database itself. CouchDB can host small applications directly, which means the database and the app are packaged together as one unit. The README's instructions for "pushing" the app are simply how you upload the code into the database. Once that is done, you access the tool through a web address served by the database. This would be used by project managers, team leads, or anyone coordinating work through Yammer who needs a simple way to prioritize tasks or initiatives. Rather than keeping priority lists in a separate spreadsheet or planning tool, a team could use this to tie their MoSCoW categorization directly to their existing Yammer discussions. The README does not go into detail about the user interface, specific features, or how the connection to Yammer actually works. The project appears to be fairly minimal and older, given that it uses CoffeeScript, a programming language that compiles into JavaScript but has largely fallen out of favor. The setup instructions are brief and assume a fair amount of prior knowledge about CouchDB configuration, so getting it running would likely require some comfort with command-line tools and database administration.
