In mostly unrelated news, this is likely to be the last report in the format I've been using. I've decided to seriously use Org-Mode<http://www.orgmode.org/>for EMACS, and that should make it easier to gather up the information and send it out to everybody in future reports.
*What Got Done? *Not nearly as much as in previous weeks. Well, not as much in public view. We worked with Mark Ramm and SF directly. After working out a lot of details, we've determined that the configuration we were going to use will not be suitable. Specifically, TG1 would be a subproject of the Pylons project, as would TG2. As it turns out, there are issues with project visibility and migrating Trac that make this not feasible right now. So, we've created a TurboGears2 project on SF, and the creation of a TG1 project on SF is being evaluated by Christoph. Being as he is the lead maintainer for TG1, his word should be the final choice for that project. In the meantime, Christoph and Florent have been working on getting Trac upgraded and at least somewhat prepared for the move to the new server. If SF is not yet ready for us to convert entirely to their infrastructure (for whatever reasons), we have a fallback plan. Speaking of the new web server: The plan is fairly simple. We're going to host what we have to, and put as much as possible elsewhere (hopefully mostly on SF's servers). We're trying to reduce overall complexity of our infrastructure. The bad part is that we're discovered we have a number of off-site resources that we haven't documented properly for people. We're going to put together a community page to help direct people to the various resources we use out there on the internet. This will, hopefully, help to reduce confusion. The Google Summer of Code application (1st draft) has been completed, and sent to the mentors. There's a couple of holes in it, but I'd say we're looking good for being able to submit as much as a week before the official deadline. We've also seen a few threads where people have needed (and gotten) help developing their applications. All in all, while the actual amount of code and documentation was pretty well zero, it was still a decent week for making progress towards our goals. *Where Are We Now?* The new webserver is online. The GSoC application is very close to finalized. Code has been migrated to its own set of repositories and projects on SF. All in all, I'd say we're in a good place. *What's Up For This Week?* Since we have the GSoC application done, and we have the new web server running with the base operating system, we're going to get to work on putting together the new website. Whatever we can offload to other services, we will, and whatever we can't, we'll host ourselves. I'd say we have a very good chance of getting the web site moved to the new server this week. Next week, we should manage to finish filling out the content for the site, allowing us to finally get to work on the code itself. It's been a slow project, mainly due to a pronounced lack of planning on my part. As it turns out, there were a whole host of details that I just didn't know that made a world of difference in the process. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, though, so please bear with us while we get there. It's coming very soon. -- Michael J.
