Introduction to Libre Sapienza

This is the home page of libre-sapienza.

libre-sapienza is a free-libre program that lets you access the Infostud system of the Sapienza University in Rome. It is free software released under the GNU GPL version 3 or later.
It's written and C and uses the Curl library for network operation, Jansson for JSON parsing and GNU Readline for line editing. All of these libraries are portable, therefore the program should compile and run under GNU+Linux, GNU+Hurd, FreeBSDs, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD and others.
If you use MacOS X and Windows I strongly recommend switching to a free operating system, but in the meantime you should be able to compile and run as well.
The program tries to provide all features needed by students. Currently you can use it to: Most features are missing. There's no graphical user interface right now, but it could be added in the future.
This software is experimental, so you use it at your own risk, but you can try it and you can help in development! Start by cloning the git repository.
