Cantas

About nodejs-cantas

Cantas is a real-time collaborative web application.This is a side project, used as internal productivity tool in Red Hat.

This we believe, is a great open source project for learning HTML5/Nodejs/socket.io/backbone.js technology.

This cantas is a Python implemention using tornado.

And I believe this is a great open source project for learning tornado, mongodb and websocket.
