Hi everyone,
Sorry it has been so long. I have been putting in some time to look at various
things around the Apache Bloodhound project to try to push things along a bit.
One of these things was to attempt to fix a problem with accessing the issue
tracker. I am not yet happy with this fix as, at least temporarily, it leaves
me as the only person with an account. This may not matter too much if we are
willing to go through re-registration (and, yes, registration is still disabled
at the moment so this may be fun to organise) but as there may be a need for a
further re-registration event when we migrate to a Django based Bloodhound, I
am reluctant to force this upon people. Hopefully I can report on this further
soon.
Anyway, with that sorted temporarily, albeit just for me, I have been using my
access to begin putting some work into describing my current ideas for
Bloodhound at [1] - it is currently very rough but I'm hoping that it will
evolve fairly quickly with input from others. I also didn't want to put it in
place fully formed as I would prefer that others would be able to get their
ideas into the proposal.
One of the bigger changes from what I have suggested in the past is that it may
be more pragmatic to start from database models that are closer to those that
we already have and look to change them where we think this is appropriate,
supported by Django's migration mechanism.
I have included a diagram that I have generated from a possible translation of
the current Bloodhound database to Django models which can be found in the
proposal (or see ref [2] below for a direct link to that attachment.) I have
not proved that I have got the model equivalent in enough detail at this point
but I am planning on getting these changes prepared for our bloodhound-core git
repo shortly.
I'm looking forward to hearing opinions on any of this.
Cheers,
Gary
