Hi,
OK, it seems I feel embarrassed enough at my lack of activity on this project
now to come through to the other side and start actually doing something.
Possibly most importantly, I do need to check that there is going to be enough
interest from a wider group around contributing. Without an active community it
may be appropriate for the project to retire to the attic as has been mentioned
in the past.
My plan as it is would be to continue to develop the branched core project
based on django [1] and the django rest framework [2]. In the main I just want
this part to be flexible in providing means to add any fields required by a
project for categorising and tracking details.
On top of that we obviously need some kind of UI. I would potentially be
interested in seeing multiple UIs that are capable of using the main model
including a main web UI a cli client and other goodies.
On the webui side I would be interested in building something with react [3]
although I would certainly be interested in hearing arguments around
alternatives. I have been playing a little with things like plot.ly's Dash
project [4] as well which might provide us with a good way of building
dashboards. Again, I would be interested in more alternatives from the
community.
In terms of immediate work, other than some infrastructure stuff, getting the
user model integrated into the core would be a good place to make some
progress. That said, anyone interested in playing with some of the ideas above
would be very welcome!
I hope to hear from people soon!
Cheers,
Gary
