@jkevintu Have you had a chance to create a Google App engine db yet? I think it supports django. (https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/cloud-sql/django) I would need the credential to hook it up with the real db. The backend prototype is currently just using Django's default (sqlite).

@mhkane I review the branch and it looks fine for now

I will write create db creation code tomorrow, I will ping @paopow when its done.

What backend work is left to make the front end of the site functional?

The data pull and populating fields is being handled on the Peace Corps side by @slgill, so I want to make sure I understand what backend components are being addressed here that will need to be transitioned over?

paopow commented 10 years ago

The only thing left is just porting data from csv file to the GAE database. I have not been following the project closely but does this mean that we are going to use the Peace Corps backend instead?

mhkane commented 10 years ago

@jkevintu Do you know what we have to do after the data pull and populating fields ?
