Hi once more, So there was 0 check-in to start the thread and now meritum. People who have read, commented and evaluated my proposal already know me, but for others I will introduce myself. My name is Jan Rzepecki, I'm going to work on django schema alteration API this year for GSoC 2011. I'm on my last year of Electronic Engineering studies on the same time in Lodz, Poland and in Nantes, France. After some experience with php, I was searching for framework, and new language for my webdevelopment freelancing. And then I found Django, few months before it had reached 1.0 version.
I'm going to introduce new API to use with different applications that manage database schemas, to allow not only schema creation, but also modification. It would be good foundation for every database migration utility app, so the authors can focus on core functionality, not on particular database behaviour and SQL dialect. My proposal can be found in archive of django developers group [1]. Andrew Godwin is going to guide me through this project. I believe that his experience as South author, and my hard working, going to make this project successful and profitable for community. After the weekend I'm going to publish draft of API calls, with notion of which calls going to be deprecated for external use, so we are going to have plenty of space for healthy discussion ;) I'm also open for discussion on #django-dev channel with name `xtrqt`. After Greg Muller's example I've also created fork of django repository on github with new branch soc2011/schema-alteration [2] where I'm going to put all code. All documention of how it work I've planned to put in ReST Gist file, which in the end would form a part of official django docs. [3] So that's all for now stay tuned for API draft. PS And I have something to celebrate, I should have start with that a long time ago, but still, 32 hours ago, my first patch [quite simple one] found it's way to trunk [thx to jezdez].
