Dear Luca,

Thanks for contacting us.

FIWARE is based on main blocks called GEs (Generic Enablers) that you can install and use. The word "Generic" means that they are not specific to any sector but general purpose. Nearly all of the reference implementations that we provide are free to use (I can only think of one exception that we will replace in the future). These GEs are exposed via services (mainly REST interfaces) and anyone can build his own apps that would talk to and use the capabilities of the GEs of his choice. The REST interfaces are described in the Open Specifications (all of them linked from the catalogue ... read on)

The wiki (http://wiki.fi-ware.org/) has lots of information but part of the GEs on the wiki are no longer maintained by FIWARE. The up to date reference is the catalogue (http://catalogue.fi-ware.org/enablers). All the components there are alive and supported. The Catalogue concentrates all the pointers to the materials related to a given GE in the wiki or other places without the need to search everywhere. It also shows you the Terms and Conditions in a dedicated tab. I would go to the catalogue and see if the GEs there are useful for you.

There is a free experimentation environment called FIWARE Lab ( https://lab.fi-ware.org/). This environment allows you to deploy GEs and try them. We are progressively incorporating automated deployment facilities to easily install instances of our software on top of your virtual infrastructure on FIWARE Lab. There are quite a few GEri already there for you to deploy with a few clicks. This is the recommended approach vs downloading the software and installing it locally.

Our eLearning web site (FIWARE Academy - http://edu.fi-ware.org/) is also there for you to use. Most of the times you'll get a link to this tool from the catalogue if there is a course for the GE you are browsing on the catalogue.

It depends a lot on what you want to do exactly, the choice will vary. The idea is that, as said, we provide Generic enablers (generic means general purpose and not specialised in any sector) and you develop your app adding all the specific functionality you may need. I am not aware of any GEs that relate to reporting but we do have video related ones.

My advise is to go to the catalogue and see the enablers we have to see if they suit you.

I hope that this helps

Miguel

Dear All, I'm working within a team in a new project and I just want to understand how we can integrate fi-ware technology in our web platform and if it is possible.

We are building a automated web testing platform. The aim of this platform is to help to double check the quality of customer app.
The customer will upload the app, he will select devices and SO, he will select the type of test
and, waiting some minutes or maximus ours,
the customer will have feedbacks in terms of bugs testing, functional test, app perform test, security test and so on.

Given say that, is there a way to integrate fi-ware technology. Is there an enablers I can use? Like to build reports in the customer dashboard, or play video of tests on the app, and so on...

Thanks a lot
Have a nice day

Dear Miguel, you really helped me last time with your advices.

May I ask you where I can find developers that can help me to build my
project with FIWARE? Is there a community where I can ask?

Thanks a lot
Regards
Luca

Dear Luca,

We intend to create a community and even allow for external contributions. This is essential for the sustainability of FIWARE. However ,this is not in place yet and it is likely to take months.

As regards this sort of assistance we normally tell people to see they want to use from the catalogue and send them to the GE owners. However, my colleague Leandro has kindly volunteered to offer his advise. I CC him.

Please remove the fiware-general-help@lists.fi-ware.org<fiware-general-help@lists.fi-ware.org> list from the subsequent interactions.

I hope that it helps.

Miguel
