Community Project Management Software
The A.C.E. (Accountability – Celebration – Expansion) App is an open source and free-shared web-based application One Community has developed for time tracking and objective data collection. We use it daily to log and organize each of our team’s contribution through on-going records covering all aspects of the growth and evolution of our project as an open source project-launch blueprinting and research and development organization.
As we build One Community as part of a global collaborative of self-sufficient and self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages and cities, we will also be using this application to objectively log, evaluate, share, and collaborate with other communities, villages, and cities interested in working together for The Highest Good of All too. Combining the data of others with our data, we will further the evolution of all project-launch blueprints as open source and free-shared contributions to a global village construction database objectively evaluating and sharing the results of everything from creating a culture of fulfilled living practices to construction times for each component of our infrastructure and more.

A.C.E. APPLICATION OPEN SOURCE PORTAL
The A.C.E. application is open source, intuitive, very minimalistic, extremely smooth and responsive, and easy for new members to learn regardless of their technological background. As we continue to research and develop the functionality of the A.C.E. Application and build One Community, we will use this page as the portal to all the details of what we are accomplishing with it and how other teacher/demonstration villages interested in working together for The Highest Good of All will be able to use this application in whole or partial collaboration on:
● Improving city efficiency
● Logging community participation and contribution
● Welcome Team and Project Team organization and coordination
● Gathering data and running reports on infrastructure build times
● Gathering data and running reports on complete city social and recreation time
● Improving efficiency and communication during large-scale consensus implementation
● Logging and tracking education components of the Education for Life program
● Logging specific work experience and skills data for individual resume use
● Sharing and collaborating on all the above data to make everything easier for others
Once we get on the property, the list above will evolve into links to individual pages for each bullet point including all our experience, tutorials, and the open source project-launch blueprinting details so additional teacher/demonstration villages can use this application in collaboration with us to further increase the accuracy of our data and ease and efficiency of duplicating all of the components of One Community.
USING THE ACE APP
The ACE App is a web-based application that makes it easy and quick to log each member’s contribution to everything we’re working on, provides a chat feature, personal profile page, and even a reports page where we can export and view total team contributions for any given week or month. The best part about the application is that the interface is very intuitive, very minimalistic, extremely smooth and responsive, and easy for new members to learn regardless of their technological background.
Anyone who would like to see what other members are up to for any given week can just click on their name and see everything they’re doing such as: what project category they were working on, how many hours they spent on that particular task, and even the links to the documents and other information they were working on.
As a member fills in the hours, users will actually see the color of their productivity bar change. It goes from red, green, blue and, for those working over 40 hours, the bar will turn purple! Not only can you view the total hours contributed for each week, but you can also see the breakdown of the hours contributed to each project team as well.
In the Reports section, you can select a date range to see past weeks, contributions, and also the breakdown of how many hours were put into each project team. This is extremely beneficial because it allows us to:
- Review the progression and growth of One Community and all its components
- See exactly how much time and energy is being put towards each individual project
- Track and improve our efficiency and effectiveness using #1 and #2
CURRENT APPLICATION FUNCTIONALITY INCLUDES
- Contribution log
- Chat feature and log
- Personal profile page
- Reports function for each Project Team
- Reports function for total team contributions for any given week or month

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Are future teacher/demonstration communities, villages and cities required to use this application?
No, everything we create is open source and free-shared so people can use it (or not use it) however they want.
Q: Will you be teaching people how to modify the application?
No, but the A.C.E. App is already an open source application available for the public to utilize, customize, and even contribute ideas to make this app better. If the suggestions are accepted, they will become an addition to the open source application foundation. For those interested in working with the application code and/or modifying the application, the following are the necessary pre-requisites:
- Runs on node js: navigate to root directory in terminal and run “node jin.js”
- Built with the Jin framework (documentation forthcoming)
- Uses mongodb – make sure you have mongo installed before running
