[pygame] Re: Request for pygame new website project on GSoC
Right,
Sharing design ideas with community can be very good. Actually i
didn't mention design at first because i almost like the design of
current site. So what was in my mind was a smilar design. But general
thought is more important at this point.I think its early to specify a
design model because it not a subject to say something about in a
flash. We can discuss and share our design ideas when project starts
and ask pygamer volunteers to help for the look and feel of the site.
I also forgot to mention testing. Im going to write tests for project
via doctest and unittest when midterm and deadline aproaches. Django
has good tools for testing. even a testclient that makes fake requests
for view testings.
Its my bad that i didn't bring out a timeline. I tried to create one.
Estimated Timeline
Till May 23 : Read documentation, general discuss with mentor, discuss
design ideas, gather more information, examine current pygame.org
database.
May 23 - July 6: Begin coding. Begin creating django applications
( with order: "users", "projects", "content", "documentation",
"wiki" , "snippets" ) and code models for these applications (create
database structure). Begin writing base templates/css for decided
design model. Create main views and templates( main page, content
pages, project page, project listing page ) .
July 6 - July 10: Prepare mid-term evaluation. Create doctests or
unittests for models. Request tests for views. Test browser
compatibility. Deploy project for feedbacks from mentor and pygame
community.
July 10 - July 13: Share ideas.
EVALUATIONS SENT
July 13 - August 10: Create management modules ( django auto-admin for
administrators and own in-site management module for members) . Code
"wiki" templates and views. Code "snippet" templates and views. code
"documentation" views and templates. integrate "comments". Markup
language for safe user submited html data. Syntax higlighting for code
blocks. Improve project browsing. Create script to carry over current
pygame.org data to new database. Rss/Atom feeds.
August 10: Improve documentation. Make doctests, unittests, request
tests . Finish project.
Hope this is an enough timeline.
Regards
