Hi, Google Summer of Code 2012 has been announced. http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/02/google-summer-of-code-2012-is-on.html
I want to work on extending Django's database migration capabilities, as a student. Database migrations have always been a pain in Django and most people rely on third party apps like South or Nashvegas for migrations. I feel migration capabilities should be made part of the main codebase. Specifically, adding a new field to an existing model and issuing 'manage.py syncdb' has no effect since manage.py does not issue ALTER TABLE commands. Adding such functionality might be difficult to implement but will be a boon to new users (especially those migrating from Rails who are used to out of the box migration support). Is this project worthy of being taken up for this year's Summer of Code? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
