I agree as well, and this would be very useful for some translation teams in Fedora as well. I am looking forward to this project and willing to help out. > vertimus is written in php+mysql+cron (to get the po files from GNOME > SVN) and damned-lies is written in python > > OTOH we can take advantage of damned-lies since the cron will not be > necessary, but in a ideal world the accounts would to be integrated in > GNOME LDAP, so it's not only rewrite from php to python (plus changes > here and there) but we have to talk to the sysadmins guys So the thing is that both backend-based authentication (eg. LDAP) and app-only one (eg. with simple registration) should ideally be supported. Maybe this is a good chance to talk a bit about TurboGears. I've been working a lot on DL lately, and on an addon for it written in TG. Maybe I'm just not used to do it or I'm just a lazy programmer, but I admit that it was much more fun hacking in TG in an MVC style than plain python code. The two projects (transifex and vertimus) have similar (new for DL) requirements: need to access the model a lot in RW mode (non-XML), require form handling and authentication. If there is a moment to discuss the (even remote!) possibility of porting DL to a web framework like TG, now would probably be it. :) BTW, the fedora infrastructure has created a TG-based package that talks to the fedora account system, which could be used by GNOME to talk to the GNOME account system. If this happens, hooking up a TG-based app to GAS would be as simple as installing the package on the system (either with deb/rpm or with easy_install) and writing 3 line thing like: from gnome.accounts.gas import AccountSystem gas = AccountSystem() user, groups = gas.get_user_info(username) The downside would be that there will be some initial work (not much I think since DL already uses SQLObject and Cheetah templates) and a learning curve for existing contributors. However both of these are trivial compared to the maintainability IMO. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED], GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
