[CODE4LIB] collengine, the collection engine; runs on django-nonrel / app engine

Having been several months since I've tried to run django on the google app engine, I took a crack at it today with Django appengine http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine Since it is based on django-nonrel, in theory it does not have vendor lock in to app engine, so you

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2011 Registration Closed

Hey Brian, This is awesome. Awhile back I took a stab at doing something kinda similar with jruby and google app engine. I think I still have a half finished blog post floating around somewhere on thatfinishing that might be a good christmas break project. For other ruby-based

I did some of the development on Kochief, a discovery interface that places Django in front of Solr [1]. I made some stabs at including cataloging as well, but never got too far in that direction. Django-nonrel looks like a neat project, with a lot of what one would need in a collection
