A wafer-thin web application for running small conferences. Built using Django.
Licensed under the `ISC License`_.
.. _ISC License: https://github.com/CTPUG/wafer/blob/master/LICENSE
Documentation
=============
Available on `readthedocs.org`_.
.. _readthedocs.org: http://wafer.readthedocs.org/
Supported Django versions
=========================
Wafer supports Django 1.8 and Django 1.9.
Installation
============
1. ``pip install -r requirements.txt`` should install all the required
python and django dependencies.
2. Wafer uses bower to manage javascript dependencies
* Install bower in the static files base directory: ``npm install bower``
* Grab the ``bower.json`` file to install the required javascript files
``./node_modules/bower/bin/bower install bower.json``
3. Install the wafer applications
``manage.py migrate``
4. If you don't have one yet, create a superuser with
``manage.py createsuperuser``.
5. Examine the ``settings.py`` file and create a
``localsettings.py`` file overriding the defaults
as required.
``STATIC_FILES``, ``WAFER_MENUS``, ``MARKITUP_FILTER``,
``WAFER_TALKS_OPEN``, ``WAFER_REGISTRATION_OPEN`` and
``WAFER_PUBLIC_ATTENDEE_LIST`` will probably need to be
overridden.
If you add extensions to ``MARKITUP_FILTER``, be
sure to install the appropriate python packages as well.
6. 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.
7. Wafer uses the Django caching infrastructure in several places, so
the cache table needs to be created using ``manage.py createcachetable``.
8. Create the default 'Page Editors' and 'Talk Mentors' groups using
``manage.py wafer_add_default_groups``.
9. Have a fun conference.
Installing Bootstrap
====================
The default templates and css files require jquery and bootstrap to work.
wafer provides a bower.json file to simplify the installation process. This
requires a working nodejs installation.
1. Install bower
``npm install bower``
2. Use bower to install appropriate versions of bootstrap and jquery
``$(npm bin)/bower install``
3. Move files to the correct location
``manage.py collectstatic``
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.
* Other improvements
* Add many tests
