Quick summary: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm writing a CMS for the Gentoo website, that will offer an LDAP web |
| 4 |
interface, plus it will replace Gorg and provide Beacon as WYSIWYG editor to |
| 5 |
edit the XML file |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Two important things hapenned: 1) I passed the midterm (thanks to my mentor |
| 8 |
and everyone involved) 2) I graduated YEY! |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I've left the LDAP bits behind for now (apart from bugfixing here and there). |
| 11 |
It is working fine, and supports: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
login (with any of user's mail) |
| 14 |
registration (the admin can specify which OU will be used for initial user |
| 15 |
creation) (for development purposes, it can even create top O and OU in an |
| 16 |
empty LDAP server) |
| 17 |
map LDAP ACL to Django ACL |
| 18 |
view some user's data (in settings we can specify which attrs the user himself |
| 19 |
can see, and which ones privileged users can see) |
| 20 |
edit own data (again, only specific attrs based on perms) |
| 21 |
edit other user's data (if the logged in user has the correct permissions for |
| 22 |
that) |
| 23 |
An addressbook (list of users, separated in developers, exdevs, others (the |
| 24 |
lists are configurable)) |
| 25 |
I'm still working on the UI, and started messing around with Beacon. It is a |
| 26 |
very interesting project, which is getting more love again, through a Fedora |
| 27 |
GSoC project (it even started as a GSoC project). It has two backends, a PHP |
| 28 |
and a Django one. I already talked to the upstream guys, they showed me their |
| 29 |
TODO list [1]. Some of those are needed for me as well, which is very nice, |
| 30 |
since my patches can go upstream directly. I was going to write a custom |
| 31 |
script to export the generated XML output, which is one of the things Beacon |
| 32 |
itself needs as well. Another important thing is to load external files in |
| 33 |
order to edit them. Finally, the git integration I was going to implement also |
| 34 |
sounded like a nice feature. Really glad to see that we are on the same road, |
| 35 |
my plan was to not fork the project but keep the changes there as possible. |
| 36 |
Matt, my mentor, was helping Beacon with the Django part since the beginning. |
| 37 |
I plan to work on those three features for the next week (weekend included). |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Apart from the above, I'm working on our XSLT and Python's decorators to |
| 40 |
create Django templates based on our XML files. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Okupy is deployed in the server, I need a final review from my mentor and will |
| 43 |
open it to some people for testing really soon (target: this weekend). |
