-isvhsopen.com is intended to tell non-keyholding members when VHS is open, so they can come down.
+====== Is VHS Open Project ======
-It was originally written by LukeC, repository here.
+[[http://www.isvhsopen.com|isvhsopen.com]] is intended to tell non-keyholding members when VHS is open, so they can come down.
+It was originally written by [[https://github.com/lukec|LukeC]], as part of the [[https://github.com/vhs/api/tree/perl_version|VHS API (Perl codebase)]]. The VHS API has since been rewritten by [[https://github.com/interlock|Interlock]] as a [[https://github.com/vhs/api|Node.js project]]. The API is hosted at [[http://api.vanhack.ca|api.vanhack.ca]] and acts as a public key-value store, although it is no longer an integral part of isvhsopen.
-The backbone is a hackspace api, which acts as a public key-value store, the most important one being "door" for this project.
+One of the original frustrations was that members would see that the space was open, head down, and it would be closed by the time they got there. While previously, the control was just a light switch, a [[https://github.com/vhs/SpaceTime|new controller]] was built, slowly, with input from many people. [[https://github.com/BruceFletcher|Bruce]], [[https://github.com/lukec|Luke C]], [[https://github.com/JarrettR|Jarrett]], [[https://github.com/garthomite|Garth]], and finally the [[https://github.com/vhs/SpaceTime/tree/master/python|Raspberry Pi and Python portion]] finished off by [[https://github.com/acropup|Shane]].
-One of the frustrations of members was that they'd see that the space was open, head down, and it would be closed by the time they got there.
+The new version went live in December 2015, with a [[https://github.com/vhs/isvhsopen|new website and single-purpose API]] by [[https://github.com/garthomite|Garth]].
-While previously, the control was just a lightswitch, a new controller was built, slowly, with a input from many people. Bruce, Luke C, Jarrett, Garth, and finally finished off by Shane.
+The [[https://github.com/vhs/SpaceTime|SpaceTime]] box looks like this:
-It was finally made live in December 2015, with a complete API rewrite by Garth.
+***INSERT PICTURE HERE***
+Top LED display shows current time, bottom one shows expected time to close, settable by the keyholder who has the space open.
