GSoC-19 Project Ideas

[gaurav jain]

Hi Everyone,
I had some ideas for the upcoming GSoC.
1. To make a code coverter old clean flask monolithic code to be converted 
to simple Django Code. All we would need is to change the queries and shift 
rest of the code. 
2. I have personally been using a code generator for my 
APIs(https://github.com/GauravJain98/drf-generator). So similar to this i 
wanted something like create react app that would take the project name the 
number of apps and name of apps and make the whole this for us.

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class CommenInfo(models.Model):
archived = models.BooleanField(default=False)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

def delete(self):
self.archived = True
super().save()

class Meta:
abstract = True
class Team(CommenInfo):
pass
