Development Project Management System
Hello, I'm Nikhil Verma, a second year undergraduate from BITS, Pilani, India, and I'm interested in working on the Development Project Management System. Having gone through the ideas page, I cannot figure out how to proceed. I'm also interested in knowing more details about what all is to be implemented. Can someone please guide me through the next steps needed to be taken? Thanks Nikhil
Hi Nikhil,
Welcome.
The skills you will need are python, django, html and javascript.
The code for the project system is on launchpad and currently uses bazaar (in the future it'll use git). It's much easier to get the site working locally with a linux machine and if you have a windows or mac computer then you should probably install a VirtualBox with ubuntu.
So the first steps are to get a copy of the code onto your computer, then running the initialisation.
https://code.launchpad.net/inkscape-web/
Let me know if you get far enough to be running your the site locally.
Best regards, Martin Owens

Hi Nikhil,
As we are using a few custom commands for initializing and starting up the server, you may also want to look at this section in our Wiki:

Hello!
Thank you Maren for that wiki page. That helped me a lot.
However, I am having problems running the *./utils/init* command. I keep getting several lines of* No request object? WTF* , and also a* Can't restore data with no admin user setup* message. However, I can see a *Default 'admin' user added, password: 123456* message printed. Then if I run the* ./utils/run* script, The server starts, but I can't access any page. I keep getting a *TypeError: object.__new__(X): X is not a type object (WSGIRequest)* in *debug_design/themer.py __new__, line 44. *
Also, in cases of a poor network connection, the scripts never completes itself and re-running it gives the same error again and again. I was facing this problem since two days until today when I finally got a stable connection.
Could you please help me out regarding this one? That would be really kind of you.
Thanks, Nikhil

- Ignore those, Martin added them as debug messages for himself ;) They don't indicate that anything you will need right now is broken, only that some parts are still Work-in-Progress.
For the projects, some work has already been done, I've just merged it into trunk, so you have the most current status available.
Run ./utils/manage migrate
after pulling from bzr, to update the database. Normally, I would suggest ./utils/update, but that requires a stable internet connection, and the additional stuff it does isn't essential.
, and also a*Can't restore data with no admin user setup* message. However, I can see a *Default 'admin' user added, password: 123456* message printed.
- Looking into this right now. Whatever the reason, it does work if you run
./utils/refresh-cms
a second time (will need stable internet, though). Seems to be a problem of the order in which things are done. Martin is more knowledgeable there, sorry, I can't give you a real fix for this.
Then if I run the*./utils/run* script, The server starts, but I can't access any page. I keep getting a *TypeError: object.__new__(X): X is not a type object (WSGIRequest)* in *debug_design/themer.py __new__, line 44. *
- In inkscape/settings.py, set
ENABLE_DEBUG_TOOLBAR = False
temporarily. It's not yet finished, and seems to cause errors.
Also, in cases of a poor network connection, the scripts never completes itself and re-running it gives the same error again and again. I was facing this problem since two days until today when I finally got a stable connection.
- Oh, that's annoying :/
@Martin, I think you modified the wget somehow only recently and know more about this, can you have a look?
(As a workaround, I can upload a basic database and media directory when needed).
Kind regards, Maren
Nikhil, just in case of more bad internet connection, you can also try if downloading this zipped data directory (30.7 Mb) works better for you (just replace the original directory with the unzipped contents):
https://framadrive.org/index.php/s/D3eIee03Wg671hk
(compatible with revision 1144 of inkscape-web)
You'd still need to disable the debug toolbar, but the rest of the steps from my previous mail wouldn't be necessary.
Kind regards, Maren

Dear Maren and Martin,
Finally, I've successfully managed to run the site locally! Thank you so much for your help, especially for your efforts of uploading the zipped data directory. That's very kind of you. Please guide me through the next steps so that I can start contributing to the project.
Thanks, Nikhil
