After the last exam tomorrow, I have a ~2 1/2 month semester break :o) In the meanwhile I was playing around with Python + PostgreSQL and I'm very addicted to this combination. (Python has rather poor MySQL bindings)
My current plan is to migrite the whole forum database to PostgreSQL (did this already in a test, works fine) so that we can have only one DBMS, since Trac works with PostgreSQL too and very fine. Giel already wrote add-ons for our Trac, which allows a single sign-on between Trac and our forums, so I think that building our website around the forums user-database might be the best solution. I would like to write a dedicated login and registering page for our whole website, as well as some "Warzone Website Libraries" in Python to privide simple access to authentication, forum data and wiki content (which is already done for our frontpage, by Giel). Also maybe a little PHP library for Zarel and his guide. So, all further website features like a map & mod vault could be written by ourself, which is fairly no pain task, using the right language and tiny libs. The result would be a heterogeneous environment of PHP (forum, Zarels guide) and Python (Everything else) for the first, which should be acceptable. A rather complex task would be to create a good and lean website layout which should be able to be easily adopted to every part of the website (Trac, ugh). Maybe we should call for contributions of a simple layout/colour scheme. As base I would like to use the 960 Grid-System [1] because it's small and I have made good experience with it. Any comments, wishes, suggestions? [1] http://960.gs/ - Kamaze _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
