Feature request: Integrate Grey College Family Tree into official site #71

Open Spiruel opened 6 years ago

Spiruel commented 6 years ago

A previous pet project of mine was to create a website for Grey students to view their family tree history online. A working version of this is accessible at http://www.greycollegefamilytree.co.uk/ .

It would be great if this could successfully be integrated into the official website. Currently the family tree consists of a flask web application reading information from flat files.

Necessary improvements involve: Redesigning the look of the family tree to be more in line with the JCR website, involving a database structure that does away with the flat files and deals with the historical ex-student information, and reworking the Python flask application to be compatible with the current configuration of the website.

If anybody is interested in developing the family tree into an official feature please get in touch. I hope to share an up-to-date code repo shortly.

This looks cool. To save work could we use the existing flask application (and possibly file storage) and have it expose a REST API? This way we would only have rewrite the front end.
