[gentoo-soc] Re: Weekly progress report (#9)

Note: this is slightly modified version of: post [0] on my blog.

Last week (after finishing previous iteration) I finally managed to stay
a bit ahead of schedule. This iteration titled is polish so I was
polishing the application:

    * I improved quality of some stories from last iteration that
weren’t ready. There is still one story left – email questions. Now
application uses email from field and subject to identify who is
answering what question. To make it harder to break someones answers by
sending forged emails I’ll rewrite it to use tokens to identify users.
    * Navigation bar had too many tabs I cleaned it.
    * Seed data are now interpreted as ERB[1]. I did it to allow
configuring domain for seed users (to make testing easier).
    * I replaced plain text fields in some models with
HoboFields::MarkdownString[2] so now users can use markdown[3] in
answers, comments and questions. I also updated seed to use markdown
where it’s useful.

My app is:

    * On GitHub[4] (history is rewritten a few times a day).
    * On Gentoo[5] overlays (what goes there shouldn’t change).
    * On Heroku[6] (demo updated every second week).
