Creating an about us page #11

Closed andrewkitchell closed 12 years ago

andrewkitchell commented 12 years ago

Adding an about us page to detail what we are building.

Belgand commented 12 years ago

It's not in production yet. Why not just implement this in the wiki here on github and/or the readme?

"Not in production yet" -- I am not sure what that means. I think we should add an about us page so guests can know what we are doing.

Belgand commented 12 years ago

Right now there's no reason to add an "about us" page to the project because the site is only available to someone working on it on their local computer. So it wouldn't make any sense. The better idea is to provide that sort of information through the wiki located here or put it in the readme that shows up on the project's front page.

Production is generally contrasted with development and refers to a page that is hosted and accessible to the rest of the Internet (or intranet depending on what you're developing).

I see both points, but because we are talking about learning django I think this would a good exercise to implement this feature. We should use django flatpage app. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/flatpages/ We can also implement data in a fixture file. This would allow people to add the populated data and each user wouldnt have to write their own about page. I think there are several other pages that will fit the bill for static pages and this module would be good to implement.

I am going to investigate creating a fixture file for this feature. As soon as I get the fixture feature worked out I will implement this.

kellanjacobs commented 12 years ago

I added the flatpage module. This feature is now working.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

See you tonight.
