Hi As discussed in this list earlier, I along with several others (see wiki page for details) have been working on packaging Askbot (http://askbot.org) and its dependencies for Fedora (and EPEL). Askbot is a question and answer oriented forum along the lines of Stack Overflow and I would like to see a instance of it hosted and run within the Fedora infrastructure. You can find more detailed information about this at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Askbot You can help by testing it and providing feedback. We have made good progress by reviewing and approving several dependencies and building them for both Fedora and EPEL 6. Askbot is written in Django and Python. To provide a good experience and integration with Fedora, we would like to add several new features to it. For instance, PJP has already added support for logging in using the Fedora account system id (upstream made authentication extensible to support us) and we are planning on adding support for logging using identi.ca and quickly posting a question link to identi.ca (support for Twitter already exists upstream). There are several more features I would like to see added. The primary upstream developer is quite receptive and has already added some features and fixed bugs we pointed out. So if you are familiar with Django and Python, do let me know. Many of these features are fairly easy to add. I am available in #fedora-devel and #fedora-india as mether or you can also drop me a mail offlist. Upstream source is at https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/ Also Askbot can be installed via pip or easy_install and a test repository for RHEL 6 (and rebuilds) is at http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pjp/askbot/ Rahul -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
