ticket/15926, advice
Hello. I just got good-and-into Django, and I'd like to contribute. I worked some on a patch to ticket #15926 (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15926). I think this patch deserves some attention. I'd also appreciate some guidance on contributing, as needed. I updated the previous patch to a (much) later tip of the git repo, and expanded it's scope as per my comments on the ticket page. I also added some documentation for my changes, which I believe is adequate. Thanks for your help.

Maybe extensions to the syntax would be acceptable, or additional template tags. (Please note: I'm not a core dev and don't influence such decisions.) I believe someone recently suggested incorporating less (http://lesscss.org/) and bootstrap (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap) into Django, and this might be something you're interested in. At any rate, this list is full of good propositions. Cheers, Jonathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.

I'm excited that you're interested in participating in our GSoC program -- if we're accepted, of course. Note that the application period for sponsoring organizations isn't even open yet, and Django's acceptance is far from a certain thing. We obviously are going to apply again and hope to be accepted, but that's a ways off still. I have to say, though, that this proposal is pretty much a non-starter. We're attached to our template language, so while we might consider proposals to improve it, changing its basic philosophy is out of the question. I hope you'll take the time to come up with other ideas. We'll be working on some suggestions over the next couple of months while applications are being processed. In the meantime, you'll want to start contributing *now*: we rarely accept students who haven't been a part of the project for some time. If you dive in and start making your name known around here you'll greatly improve your chances of being accepted. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.

GSoC 2012 Proposal
To whom it may concern, my name is Victor Buldakov, I would like to participate in "Google Summer Of Code-2012" with the project on Django framework. Django templates is a simple and flexible tool. But I think that they unpythonic. That is the reason why it is less flexible than, for exampe, configuration files. In my project I would like to develop the support of block with use of the python code. In my opinion, it would make Django templates more flexible and power. I think that Django framework is very ergonomic and convenient, but I would like to make it more applicable. That's why I would like to cooperate with you within the work of your company. I think that my experience in work with Python and Django will be useful in the development of the project. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
