=== Site Model ===  
=== Site Model ===  


Initially Moksaya project offers the following functionality to the site :
Initially Moksaya project offers a RESTful interface to the following models:
User Profiles can be accessed by the RESTful Apis and it serves all the related Resources say all the projects of particular user , comments on projects, likes , friends of the user etcs.


* Accounts : I have added an existing Django app to handle authentication and user accounts , I have made some modifications to include the User Profile functionality.It's not complete but it's functional so to give me an idea of what we are trying to achieve.
* Top Level View : http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/profile/list/


* Projects : This django app facilitates the site with the ability to Upload / Download and sharing of Projects along with the basic descriptions.This app also provides the comment functionality and I plan to extend this app to handle more functionalities like Forking , Galleries , Favourite , Like etcs.

In the above results I have excluded Project ids from the json Response, but similarly each individual project could be accessed and updated by making GET or Post or Put request to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/projects/<pk>?format=json
* Accessing particular  project http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/projects/2/?format=json

==Forking==
Lets take a look at how forking works here , though this is not really the best approach but I am doing this for understanding purpose and would figure out the proper solution for this ..
but for now here it is.
* Lets say these are the projects on the Moksaya submitted by the user  :
  {
    "meta": {
        "limit": 20,
        "next": null,
        "offset": 0,
        "previous": null,
        "total_count": 3
    },
    "objects": [
        {
            "Likes": 3,
            "comment": [
                {
                    "entry": "Another story i am covering and i want to test the constrains this time",
                    "resource_uri": "",
                    "text": "MAhn this is some awesome shit "
                },
                {
                    "entry": "Another story i am covering and i want to test the constrains this time",
                    "resource_uri": "",
                    "text": "cool Man comments are returned in APIs"
                }
            ],
            "desc": "here is another hack by me and I am doing this right now",
            "id": 1,
            "owner": "aregee",
            "screenshot": "/media/projects/Screenshot_from_2013-01-21_030756.png",
            "shared_date": "2013-06-25T18:48:18.205760",
            "src": "/media/proejcts/admin.py",
            "title": "Another story i am covering and i want to test the constrains this time"
        },
        {
            "Likes": 1,
            "comment": [],
            "desc": "Wired Hack ",
            "id": 2,
            "owner": "aregee",
            "screenshot": "/media/projects/background.png",
            "shared_date": "2013-06-26T05:59:48.445868",
            "src": "/media/proejcts/startconky.sh",
            "title": "Someting Wong"
        },
        {

            "owner": "testuser",
            "screenshot": "/media/projects/Screenshot_from_2013-02-03_173238.png",
            "shared_date": "2013-06-27T15:31:22.560494",
            "src": "/media/proejcts/hello.c",
            "title": "First Project Upload"
        }
    ]
  }
* Now I am logged in as aregee , and here is my profile at  127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/profile/list/1/?format=json

            "title": "Someting Wong"
        }
    ],
    "user": "aregee",
    "website": "http://rahulgaur.info/"
  }
* Now I want to fork the Project with id = 3 created by testuser , so I will make a GET request to 127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/forking/3/?format=json
  {
    "Changes": {
        "owner": "testuser",
        "shared_date": "2013-06-27T15:31:22.560494"
    },

    "src": "/media/proejcts/hello.c",
    "title": "First Project Upload"
  }
The diffs / metadata could be viewed for the changes made , for instance here the response shows the original author of the project and the date it was shared
* Lets take a look at my Profile again at 127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/profile/list/1/?format=json

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.
