Hi,
Thanks for your honest email Gary!
I find myself some time available at the moment and would like to make
myself useful to the project.
I'll probably need a hand getting acquainted so will refrain from wading
in on the design discussion till I'm up and running in some sense.
Apologies for going over old ground, but https://bloodhound.apache.org/
is obviously up but had dead links.
So I'm wondering where the latest and greatest code is and if we have
any open bug list I could get working on?
I've found https://projects.apache.org/project.html?bloodhound which
similarly has dead links.
My Subversion is very rusty (haven't used in about 8 years) but can get
up to speed if necessary.
I did find https://github.com/apache/bloodhound which looks like the
most recent thing someone was doing was playing around with SaltStack
about 2 years ago.
Is there anything else I've missed? Is anyone using IRC for the quick
back and forth as I will probably have a few inane questions that people
won't want to be spammed with.
The last project I did was Django Rest Framework based so can probably
hit the ground running there. UI stuff, again rusty as it's a while
since I've done front end stuff but happy to give it a shot if that's
what really needs doing.
Basically I'm happy to be a minion for the time being until I've found
my feet!
Cheers,
Daniel

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
