Re: [pygame] Request for pygame new website project on GSoC
Hello, that looks pretty good. One improvement is that you could try and put a timeline for when you think you will do things. Also, it would great if there were lots of unit tests. Also a stage at the beginning where we ask people with design ideas for the website to put them forward. Pygame has a large community of people, some of whom are pretty good with gfx and design... so it'd make sense to let them contribute if they want. cheers, 2009/3/31 orcun avsar : > Hi, > Im glad you're interested in my participation.

[pygame] Request for pygame new website project on GSoC
Hi, Im studying computer enginnering in Canakkale/Turkey and its my second year on the university. I want to be a GSoC student for the Pygame Website project this year. I'm two years experienced with python and one year experienced with Web. Currently i'm working with Django Framework for web projects. Reason that i choose that project is i love both Pygame and Django. But I never had change of having good time to improve myself on pygame. So i want to help/join the community with another way that i have knowledge on. My plan to develop is first making a clone of current system on python (i don't mean design but database and functionality). Database smilarity is important to carry over current data (users, projects, tags..) to new system. Then we can add new features. I can also take the current database system and overwrite new features on it ( django ORM can handle with Mysql, Postrgresql, Sqlite,Oracle databases) I guess django auto-admin won't be very cute for pygame. So i will write my-own site management module which will also use current django contrib applications (Users, Auth, Sessions...). Im not a designer but I have enough Css, JavaScript (mostly Jquery), Ajax knowledge (and HTML needless to say). I have a few projects. My most CMS like project is a software programs reviewing site in turkish language which finished recently: http://www.yukleindir.net if you like i can create a new user account for you to examine admin panel or you can use registration form. I have a blog also: http://orcuna.blogspot.com I have a few django snippets: http://www.djangosnippets.org/users/orcun%20avsar/ Currently im working with django at my school's information department we try to develop projects like: events management system, document chasing system. Thats all on my mind for now:) i like to hear from you soon.
