A wafer-thin Django library for running small conferences.
Project description
wafer
A wafer-thin web application for running small conferences. Built using Django.
Licensed under the ISC License.
Documentation
Available on readthedocs.org.
Installation
TODO: Explain it all
If you don’t have one yet, create a superuser with manage.py createsuperuser.
Log in and configure the Site:
The domain will be used as the base for e-mails sent during registration.
The name will be the conference’s name.
wafer uses the Django caching infrastructure in several places, so the cache table needs to be created using manage.py createcachetable.
Create the default ‘Page Editors’ and ‘Talk Mentors’ groups using manage.py wafer_add_default_groups.
Have a fun conference.
Running with Django 1.6
If you are running Django 1.6, please also install south for migrations:
pip install south
South 1.0 fails with python 3, described in this issue. To properly support python 3 and Django 1.6, you need to install a patched version. The following command should work:
pip install 'https://bitbucket.org/andrewgodwin/south/get/e2c9102ee033.zip#egg=South
Features
Support for adding and editing sponsors via Django admin.
Schedule can be created and updated via Django admin.
Pages for static content, news and so forthe can be handled via Django admin.
Can be delegated to the ‘Page Editors’ group.
Pages can be updated via the web interface.
Talk submissions and acceptance.
Generate a static version of the site for archival.
TODO
Make the code easier to use for other conferences (split out theming, etc).
Improve the talk submission management module:
Better display of accepted talks.
Make various messages easier to customise.
Improve admin support for the schedule:
Show table of slots in admin interface.
Improve handling of moving talks around.
Support for adding news (and other templated pages) via Django admin.
Maybe add some cool visualizations with d3:
Number of people signed up in various categories.
Places remaining.
Sponsorship slots remaining.
Days until various deadlines.
