Hi, I'm Jan! I started contributing for iRail in the summer of 2010. The android app BeTrains needed some serious(!!) refactoring and I jumped in to help. After that I started doing some Bada developing in the context of iRail. Most of the work was done by my colleague Bart Bruynooghe, but I also contributed to the app. Bart is currently working solo on that app, and he's doing a pretty good job. At the time of writing I'm working on The DataTank. This is a PHP-framework which basically takes some input and gives a certain result to the user. Let me give a little example. iRail uses traindata and wants to make this information available to users. It therefore needs front-end code, documentation, error handling and formatting of the results of the calls made to the front-end. With The DataTank, the only thing iRail needs to do is implement its front-end. Returning calls in a certain format of PHP objects, nice looking documentation and error handling is done by the framework. Of course there is a certain need to initialise this documentation and error handling, but this is done by providing a generic documentation and error handling API, which a user can attend. (Awesome right?)
