<big>'''A Django based web app aimed at sharing and collaboration of sugar activities to foster learning and creativity'''</big>
  
 
Goal of this project is to implement a Project Sharing site to foster collaboration and sharing of Sugar Activities over the internet.The website upon the completion would also provide REST-API’s , so that the services of the website could be utilised by the Sugar Activities to share the project on the site from within the Sugar Environment.

=== Key Deliverables : ===
+
== Repository ==
Here I have listed the Key features that I am currently working on , however as we go through the course of GSoC new features will be added ,once we have a concrete and stable base infrastructure for the Social Project Sharing site.
 
  
* Social Features  : Following/Followers , Like , favourites , share , Comments .etc
+
==== RESTful WebServer ====
* Authenticated RESTful API's :Ability to interact with website from various Sugar Activities
+
I am developing this project under the Moksaya branch on my [https://github.com/aregee/moksaya Github].
* Separate landing pages for different audiences (kids, teachers, parents, etc.)
 
* Gallery : Ability for users to create portfolio of their projects.

==== Likes ====
  
==== UI/UX ====
 
The User interface and user experience of the site is an essential feature , we have to get this part right as this whole project's target audience is Kids so the UI should be simple yet should be attractive to kids and the user experience should be done in a way such that if kids use the site ,they are comfortable with all the functionality being offered by the site and engage on the site.
 
Here are some of my Design Approach  :

File:Moksha_1.png|Landing Page
 
File:Moksha_2.png|User Profiles
 
File:Moksha_3.png|Responsive Design
 
</gallery>
 
 
   
 
   
I am planning to stage the site on PaaS platform maybe like OpenShift , however there have been certains glitches with my Openshift account but I will try to work it out or consider some other feasible alternative.
+
{| class="wikitable"
I am doing this because with this approach I would be able to get user feedback from community members side by side with my development efforts and hence I can iterate and improve with their feedbacks.

Difference among the two Projects can be tracked by  Project.objects.get(pk = 4).diff(Project.objects.get(pk = 3))  , its a method provided by the django-forkit app to view changes / differences in the forkable models.
 
Meta data field needs to bee added to Projects field so that we can save these differences when a project is forked , and every project should contain a link to original creator.

* Provide Full CRUD access to authenticated user to the core site functionalities : Like , Comment , UserProfile, Projects etcs
 
* Improve the forking functionality
 
* Implement JavaScript Client to consume APIs to get a minimal functional product up and running

Moksaya Project :

A Django based web app aimed at sharing and collaboration of sugar activities to foster learning and creativity

Goal of this project is to implement a Project Sharing site to foster collaboration and sharing of Sugar Activities over the internet.The website upon the completion would also provide REST-API’s , so that the services of the website could be utilised by the Sugar Activities to share the project on the site from within the Sugar Environment.

Repository

RESTful WebServer

I am developing this project under the Moksaya branch on my Github.

Site Model

I have planed to design the RESTful interface to the Moksaya project , and I have written a web app to consume these APIs using [ http://angularjs.org/ AngularJS ] Initially Moksaya project offers a RESTful interface to the following interrelated models :

  • ProfileResource
  • ProjectResource
  • CommentResource
  • LikeResource
  • ForkResource

At the Top most level Profile/list contains all the User Profiles along with their Related Resources. So , a typical user profile contains User info like About , Birthdays etcs then the Related Resources Projects , Friends List , Likes on Projects (Can be easily extended for comments or other models). Most of these Related Resources can be accessed individually as well.
