Hi Sean,
Currently I am setting up the project on my local system. I went through
last year's proposal and I have some new ideas that I would like to
mention. Some of the major features that I want to work on are listed
below.
1. User signup/login using their social media accounts(Google, Facebook,
Twitter). Use OAuth for user authentication. There are a lot of excellent
django libraries available such as django-allauth, django-social-auth etc.
2. Add admin functionality using django admin interface and customize it
by developing new forms.
3. Design and Develop REST APIs. There are many open source libraries
available such as django-rest framework or django-tastypie etc.
4. Email notification to user corresponding to any change in the
database.
5. Automate installation and deployment process. Explore various options
such as Shell scripts, Python Fabric or a configuration management system
such as Chef, Ansible or Puppet.
I would really appreciate your opinion on them to improve my proposal.
Thanks,
Chinmaya
