We just launched ArtWeLove.com Everything but the /news section is in Pylons . The /news section is a customized install of MovableType. Some cookies , PHP , and a whole bunch of postgresql views in Pylons to map the MT structure tie everything together.
Its got a few bugs -- we launched a day early, thanks to a partner hitting send on an email blast to 15k people , and needing to be public enough for them. sigh. The system runs on top of a framework called OpenSNS -- something that we had been developing in FindMeOn.com to prototype and deliver our Open Social Network (OpenSN) projects and standards. It's been used in a number of projects that I'm associated with for the past few years and will shortly available to all under the MIT license. ( its friends only MIT until some security issues are worked out, when they are.. its public. if you'd like to be a friend, contact offlist ) Open Social Network gives developers the ability to rapidly prototype and build production-quality web services. It's a series of Python packages and Pylons controllers , along with a standardized Database Schema, that developers can subclass, inherit, override or throw away -- allowing people to take what they need and toss the rest. The design goals were: - handle common tasks - don't enforce any sort of database concept ( everything is handled through sqlalchemy table mapping, and work continues to make column actions configurable ) - allow startups to skip the first 6 weeks of development - allow advertising agencies the ability to create web projects with speed - allow everything to be overridden or thrown away, for people to seamlessly migrate to other frameworks or custom systems to handle their data, by representing data in according to industry best- practices and standards It handles: - account creation , management , lostpassword, forgotpassword, etc - login , logout , preview - u2u relations: friend , follow , contact - profile pages w/s3 storage for images - and a whole other slew of things --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
