Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce our four accepted GSoC projects for this year:
Template Engine Compilation and Runtime Refactoring --------------------------------------------------- Student: Armin Ronacher Details: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/mitsuhiko/10001 Armin has proposed to write a new template engine backend that will sit behind both Jinja2 and Django, replacing the current infrastructure but preserving backwards-compatibility. Revised form rendering ---------------------- Student: Gregor Müllegger Details: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/gregmuellegger/5001 Gregor will be overhauling Django's form rendering system to make it more flexible and use templates rather than hardcoded HTML. Schema Alteration API --------------------- Student: Jan Rzepecki Details: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/xtrqt/8001 Jan will be adding a schema alteration API to complement Django's current creation APIs, drawing heavily on code from South, and helping to make schema migration and alteration libraries a lot easier to build. Composite Fields ---------------- Student: Michal Petrucha Details: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/koniiiik/6001 Michal will be adding support for composite fields and primary keys into the Django model layer, finally solving one of our longest-standing feature requests (bug #373) Thanks to everyone who applied, and if you weren't successful, don't let that put you off; if you'd like some detailed feedback on why your proposal wasn't accepted, just get in touch with me, and I'll happily talk over it with you. GSoC will kick off properly in late May, so you'll probably hear more from me then; we'll hopefully have weekly updates from each student, so you know how they're getting on. It looks to be another good summer for Django! Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
