Good to know! You are very welcome to help us out in this.

All the best for GSoC. Please make yourself familiar with the process
and contact mentors. I would be there to help if needed as well.

As far as I remember, after setting up everything, I used the command
line management option of askbot to do some more setup in the
openshift instance.

First, ssh to your instance. Then,

$ cd app-root/repo/wsgi/askbot_devel/
$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py collectstatic

Hopefully everything works after this. If not, ping me back, I will
see what I am missing here.

To let you (and others) know more, we are planning a overhaul of the
UI - a lot of UI will be written from scratch. Initial WIP designs of
main page (mobile version) are at :
http://sarupbanskota.github.io/askfedora-frontend/ and
http://tuxology.github.io/askfedora-frontend/ (usually both are in
sync but sometimes not). If you open this is a mobile (or scale your
browser down smaller), you would see how its intended to look. We will
make this repo public *very soon* as we reach a somewhat "showable"
state :)

Tentative plan : http://suchakra.in/random/redesign-plan.txt and
http://suchakra.in/random/redesign-plan.pdf

Once again, best of luck for GSoC. Keep on playing with askbot and
getting yourself familiarized with the setup in the meantime. Please
speak to the mentors as well.
