Hi All, I am glad to hear that you are coming back. :-)
Let me just summarize what I understood from the project JIRA & a some searching from my side. The people app uses Django(Python) framework. There will be a back-end database like MySql in which the details like Projects & Contributors are stored. Now, my aim would be to develop Wookie widgets on which the views of users are to be displayed based on the controls from the user( in the form of URLs). For this, I would need to use the Python(Django) Connector for Wookie widgets. The widgets would be developed in the form of web application using Html5 or Javascript. I would filter the people on the basis of projects to which they are associated. Clarification needed on "providing further information about people available from other sites (e.g. blogs, twitter, shared slides, videos etc.)" : This means that I have to get the details of people who are available in the area specified by the user based on the data obtained from other sites like twitter, blogs. Or does it mean that I have to get the details of people like their Twitter feed & display it on a Wookie widget? I feel that the latter can be accomplished using APIs from Twitter & other data sources. I am currently working on the project proposal. Also at the same time, I have tried running the Wookie widgets from source. I am currently just trying out creating the sample widgets like Hello world & geo location. I am comfortable with Python. Also I can work with Javascript & Html. Please guide me as to whether or not I understood the task correctly.
