Re: Redesign of djangoproject.com?
um, not sure what happened to part of my response, but to summarize a missing paragraph I would like the design to consider showing more of the community as well.

Re: Redesign of djangoproject.com?
People weren't proposing finished designs Daniel, they're mockups/wireframes. The first focus here is getting the IA right and then making it "sexy". I for one think that canned designs are not the way to go for a project such as Django. One of the goals with the redesign of the site is to showcase how the Django community values design in addition to development and choosing a pre made design doesn't serve those ends IMO. On the flip side, there's nothin wrong with borrowing (read stealing) good ideas from other designs. That's what art is anyways ;) Just my $.02.

You' ve understood the documentation correctly. This is a feature that is currently (and AFAICT was DOA) not fully implemented because there is code to process and add the custom command line switches to the context but the validation that the management commands framework performs on the command line options isn't allowing them to pass.

Re: timezone.override() doesn't play well with template response views, by default
On 1 mai 2012, at 19:28, Yo-Yo Ma wrote: > This is because the context manager returns control after dispatch is called, > but the lazy response isn't rendered to a string until later on Hello, This behavior isn't specific to `timezone.override`. It would also happen with other context managers such as `translation.override`. It's a consequence of using `TemplateResponse`, whose goal is precisely to postpone rendering until the response middleware have run. To set the timezone globally, the docs recommend using `timezone.activate/deactivate` in a middleware (as in `LocaleMiddleware`).

Re: GitHub migration done!
Pretty sure this isn't going to make a compatible with the existing mirror mirror but http://hg-git.github.com/ should make it easy to go from git -> hg.

I think which of those happens now depends on whether a motivated someone steps up to figure out how to convert the mirror to use hg-git and source from Git, and then maintain it as needed. I originally did the current mirror, and it really hasn't needed any maintenance over the past two years, but I no longer use Mercurial or the Mercurial Django mirror, so that "motivated someone" is not likely to be me this time around. I don't mind doing it, if it's sufficiently low-maintenance, I can't speak for how it will be with hg-git (there is a bit more potential complexity since the source repo is not simple and linear like Subversion), but hgsubversion has required exactly zero maintenance since I first set it up. and I do use Mercurial as well as Git. Did you implement it using a local repo and a cron job, or was there something else you used which was more purpose-built? It's just a cron job and a local repo using hgsubversion; every five minutes it pulls the latest from Subversion and pushes it to Bitbucket. The repo and cron job are hosted on the djangoproject.com server. If you are able to get the conversion from git working and repeatable on a local repo, I think Jacob can probably get you hooked up to host it on djangoproject.com (which also has an ssh key with permission to push to bitbucket.org/django/django). The tricky bit will be making the switch to sourcing from git in a way that doesn't change all the historical commit hashes, making the new mirror repo merge-incompatible with the current mirror (and all clones of it). It's possible there will be no way to do that, in which case I guess a new incompatible mirror is still better than no mirror at all.

Please forgive me a side question though: Why didn't you convert the feature branches when converting the repository from SVN to Git as well? I'm asking this mainly because I'm relatively new to Git, and wonder how exactly do you plan to convert the branches (especially the long merged ones) at a later time? Wouldn't this unconditionally change the hashes of all commits subsequent to the merge (and thus be self-forbidding on a public repository? which in turn makes later adding of merged branches impossible?)
