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 1.11 and Django 2.0.


Installation
============

1. wafer can be installed either from pypi (``pip install wafer``)
or from the github repository.

2. If installing from github, ``pip install -r requirements.txt``
should install all the required python and django dependencies.

3. Wafer uses npm to manage front-end dependencies

* Make sure you have a recent version of Node.js installed that
includes ``npm``.

* Run ``npm install`` to install all dependencies, which also copies
them to ``wafer/static/vendor``.

4. Install the wafer applications
``manage.py migrate``

5. If you don't have one yet, create a superuser with
``manage.py createsuperuser``.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Wafer uses the Django caching infrastructure in several places, so
the cache table needs to be created using ``manage.py createcachetable``.

9. Create the default 'Page Editors' and 'Talk Mentors' groups using
``manage.py wafer_add_default_groups``.

10. 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.

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.

* Sponsorship slots remaining.
* Days until various deadlines.

* Other improvements
* Add many tests
