Reaching [url=https://github.com/easy-wi/developer/issues?milestone=1&page=1&state=closed]Milestone 4.00[/url] Easy-WI becomes free Software with the terms of GNU GPL v3. I would like to take this occasion to present Easy-WI.


[b]What is Easy-WI?[/b]
First of all Easy-Wi is a Web-interface that allows you to manage server daemons like gameservers. In addition it provides you with a CMS which includes a fully automated game- and voiceserver lending service.
The development goal is always to automate as far as possible. The daily work which requires an administrator should be reduced to a minimum.


[b]Who is the target group for Easy-WI?[/b]
No matter if you are a commercial entity that is providing hosting solutions, are sponsoring (game)server daemons, organize a LAN party, need to manage clan server, or are a private individual, Easy-WI is meant for everybody.


[b]Why change the license to GNU GPL v3?[/b]
The main reason was speeding up the development.
Easy-WI has been developed by a single person since a few years. Offering a commercial product several great classes could not be used and the wheel needed to be reinvented over and over again. Both slows down the development speed.
Because is now GNU GPL v3 licensed multiple persons are working on it, either as core developer or by sending pull requests. In addition we are now able to use third party classes like Hybridauth.


[b]Which functions and modules are available?[/b]
What drives the development is the goal to automate all processes. Listing all available functions would result in an exploding thread. So here is the summary with the main features:
[list]
[*]Mobile ready. The default template has been made with Twitter Bootstrap and is responsive. That way Easy-WI becomes a Web App which can be easily used with a mobile or tablet.
[*]Multilingual. Currently supported are English, Danish and German. The text is maintained with XML files.
[*]We have a strict separation between PHP modules and HTML views. In case a view is missing at your custom templates the default will be used as fall-back.
[*]Gameserver management is nearly fully automated. All you need to do is updating add-ons at your central image server from time to time. After that the deployment to the individual servers is automated.
[*]The same applies to TS3 voiceserver.
[*]In addition to a TS3 server you can manage TSDNS either as standalone, or together with the TS3 master.
[*]Game- as well as voiceserver can be monitored. Server offline? To many slots? Password is missing at a private server? Branding removed from the server`s name? Easy-WI will correct that for you.
[*]Already existing game- and voiceservers can be imported into assigned to an user.
[*]With the help of PXE, DHCP and TFT you can install images to your ESX(i) and dedicated servers.
[*]Reseller Accounts can be setup.
[*]All modules can be used with a REST API as well. That way you can include Easy-WI in already existing processes given with a shop like WHMCS or Magento.
