e2jk / flosstalks Goto Github PK

On 6 October 2012, 11445 resources were "suggested", containing only spam.

I've suppressed them using this command:

$ python manage.py shell
>>> from flosstalks_app.models import Resource
>>> for r in Resource.objects.filter(status="SG"):
...    r.delete()

If this happens again, we'll need to take some preventive measures. Question is what? Captcha, removing the whole form, etc?

Should be done by POST (need to find the W3C info about that)

Similar issue to https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15863
Apparently this was fixed, but it still seems to appear for FLOSS Talks. Need to investigate more.

Allow to link to the web page where the project's description was taken from (particularly important if not taken from the project's own page)

To prevent depending on external websites

It should be possible to get the following bits of information about new projects:

• id: Ohloh ID, used for displaying the widgets
• description
• homepage_url
• medium_logo_url

This should probably be done in a custom manage script that will run after each run of the project list update script. It should filter on new projects that don't yet have a Ohloh ID (to prevent overwriting information that was set manually). If the retrieval of information is succesful, the project's status should be changed to Pending (to allow for manual checking of the data, but still display it in the list of projects)

Use Django's sitemap framework.

Add the logo for a series.
Get inspiration by the commit that added logos to projects: e867615

When a resource handles multiple projects, the updateseries script will only create one Project object.

There should be an easy way in the admin site to create a new project that gets linked to the same resources.

The way nice urls is currently implemented, Django's automatic redirection to a page's default url (non-nice) is broken.

Example: Django does this: /r/22 -> /r/22/
See end of nice_url in flosstalks_app/views.py

Hide email address on /contact using the API available at http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/

When changing the language, the current page is properly displayed in the new language, however if you navigate to a page that you have already visited, it will be displayed in the previous language.

This is because the caching mechanism doesn't currently differentiate between languages. This should probably done by sending appropriate Vary headers in the request.

Django doesn't run fine on my super-low specs webserver.
Since the content is just static, a Static Site Generator (SSG) should to the job in a much better way, just generate the HTML files once and serve them.

Pelican seems to be the most active Python-based SSG currently, let's try this one. http://getpelican.com

When running retrievefromohloh on project 134 Hackety Hack!, a crash occurs:

Probably due to the "!" in the project name.
Check if this issue has been reported against xml.dom.minidom, and in any case account for the exception in the code.

In particular to parts that are heavy on the database, such as generating the json for search terms, the list of projects, a serie's detail page, etc.

Like line breaks, emphasis, links (maybe?)
