[nylug-workshop] Site resources to start development

[Peter C. Norton]

Here are some of the things that we talked about. For the sake of not
having the trac wiki, especially, automatically spammed before we have
authentication configured and enabled, I'm not going to spell out the
whole url on the list. Sorry if this presents any difficulty, please
send me a private email if there are any problems.

The trac server is at trac.nylug.org on port 8123, at /cgi-bin/trac.cgi 

The svn DAV folder is at http://svn.nylug.org:8123/svn/www/.
Currently only the django code is there. I need to re-arrange the svn
repo soon. I propose the structure should be:

/svn/nylug/ - the repository root
/svn/nylug/www/ - the root for code. 
/svn/nylug/www/<projectname>/code/ - code would go here
/svn/nylug/www/<projectname>/templates/ - content would go here

this would let other things go into this repository as well. Once
authenticaiton is available, I'll announce it so that everyone can
commit directly.

Programming projects that are needed:

Jobs web site (Me)
* User database (I've got an idea of how I want this to start, but no
     final notion of how it should look and what it should do) (1) (2)
* Book tracker (to track books and their review volunteers) 
* "World" page - a page that parses nylug members' own blogs/other rss
     feeds (correct me if I mis-remember the name of this)
* RSVP re-written. Ron, can you write up a quick spec on the trac for this?
* Feedback system (to alow us to add an object that says to signed in
members "what did you think of this", eg for jobs, books, meetings,
everything) (1)

(1) these are projects that would be called on in different parts of
    the site - a library, or widget that could be used on different
    parts of the site.

(2) the user object needs to be pretty general. Something nice would
    be to try to be able to tie into the mailman database as well, so
    nylug members don't have to remember two different things for just
    one site.

Let me know what else comes up.

In five years we'll make up another plan.
Or just re-use this one.
