Yacs - The Scheduler for Everyone

All Contributors Build Status Code Climate License: AGPL v3

To use Yacs @ RPI, visit https://rpi.yacs.io. Coming soon to NYU, and a school near you.

See yacs.io for our complete documentation.

What is Yacs?

Yacs was created with the goal of making students' lives a little easier. It allows users to avoid the clunky UIs of proprietary Catalog Management and Student Information Systems, replacing these unpleseant experiences with easy browsing and searching of courses, and adds the additional functionality of easy schedule generation, and much more.

But Yacs has grown to be much more than a simple schedule generator. Our mission at Yacs is the following:

  1. To alleviate the stress around academic and extracurrciluar planning for Students, Faculty and Staff by offering a Free, easy-to-use interface to supplement or replace traditional academic information and management systems.
  1. To enable innovative, disruptive applications in the academic space by breaking down propreitary information silos and providing consistent, digestible, Open Data.
  1. To empower students to take control of their academic experience and excel their careers through learning about and contributing to Open Source.

Further, Yacs aims to provide the best experience possible to as many people as possible by serving as many universities as we can. Yacs is built from the ground up to be modular and flexible, and as such can use data from any source, and even combine data from many sources in an intelligent way.

We have made it as easy as possible to connect Yacs to your university, and have designed this process to be accessible to developers of nearly any skill level. Please check out our documentation or contact us if you'd like to bring Yacs to your school, and help us make Yacs as great as it can be.

Yacs owes its creation and continued maintenance to RCOS, the Rensselaer Center for Open Source, and is developed in collaboration with BUGS, NYU's Open Source Club.

API

Yacs exposes an API that provides easy, open access to your school's public academic data. This API can be used to collect and analyze data, create extensions and third party applications, and provide valuable external services and integrations. Our API documentation can be found on our public site, yacs.io. We can't wait to see what you build.

Setup

Installing Yacs is easy as pie. Installation and setup documentation can be found on our public site, yacs.io.

Contributing

Yacs is a community built and run project, and we depend on your ideas and contributions. We encourage you to submit issues and contribute to Yacs! To contribute fork the repo, comment on an issue, and submit a pull request to the staging branch. Complete contributing information can be found on our public site, yacs.io.

Code of Conduct

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, Yacs pledges to be an inclusive and harassment-free experience for all, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, educational background, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

To this end, the Yacs community adheres to the RCOS Code of Conduct. It is vital that all contributors read and respect the Code of Conduct.
