# Forum Logic

This project is a Javascript prototype for the DGF system. 

It implements the core algorithm described in [Craig Calcaterra (May 24, 2018) On-Chain Governance of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations](http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3188374).


This project is implemented as a static site, and so may be downloaded and browsed offline, or served via HTTP.

The `main` branch is [served](https://dao-governance-framework.gitlab.io/forum-logic) via GitLab Pages.

# Development

For a more convenient local URL,

add `forum.dev` as an alias for `127.0.0.1` in your `/etc/hosts` file.

Install [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/#installation) 

Install [nginx](https://nginx.org/en/docs/install.html)

Add the root CA for self-signed certificates

    mkcert -install

Generate a certificate for `forum.dev`

    mkcert forum.dev

Move the certificate to nginx config directory

    sudo mkdir -p /etc/nginx/certs
    sudo cp forum.dev{,-key}.pem /etc/nginx/certs/

Make your home directory readable to the webserver (hacky way):

    chown a+r ~/

Configure `nginx` by adding a file `/etc/nginx/sites-available/forum_dev`, with content similar to the following:

```nginx
server {
        listen 443 ssl;

        server_name forum.dev;
        ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/certs/forum.dev.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/forum.dev-key.pem;

        root /home/ladd/dgf/forum-logic/src/;
        index index.html;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }
}
```

Replace `/home/ladd/dgf/forum-logic` with the path to this repository on your filesystem.

Enable the site

    sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/forum_dev /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Now restart `nginx` and the site should be available at https://forum.dev.

Note that browsers may cache assets, so after modifying source code, you may need to refresh your browser while holding `Shift` to bypass the browser cache.

# TODO

- Move `actor.js` and `action.js` out of `display/`. To `supporting`?
