Description

Abstract

moin2 is untested on GAE and likely does not work there due to some limitations imposed by GAE.

Your task is to review the moin2 code and how it works and to determine what has to be changed to make it work on GAE.

Details

Deliverables: issue(s) in our bitbucket issue tracker, titled "GAE: ..." that:

• describe the issues that should be fixed
• identify the modules/subsystems of moin where they happen
• include your suggestions about HOW to fix them

Skill Requirements

You need to be experienced with python and with running non-trivial python apps on GAE.

Do NOT expect a big amount of mentoring about the GAE part of this task, we expect that you know this stuff. We of course can and will help you with the moin2 part.

Discussion

This task needs a co mentor for GAE, one who is familiar with it. I asked andialbrecht of pycologne to join in if he can help.

Hi Reimar,

das klingt sehr spannend und ich bin gerne bereit, euch soweit es geht zur Verfügung zu stehen. Leider weiß ich aktuell noch nicht, wieviel Zeit ich aufbringen kann. Pingt mich doch einfach nochmal im IRC an.

Beste Grüße,

Andi
