[Dev-flock] r902 - in huginmunin/trunk/web/hm: . app/views db/fixtures/small_dev env

[Lucy Mendel]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to welcome Wesa Aapro to the BILUMI development team. He has
worked for a number of years on the general problem of company and
supply chain transparency for consumers. He is the Chairman of the
Consumer Gadget Organization (his thoughts are on this blog:
http://consumergadget.blogspot.com/). We have had some great
discussions over email that will either get distilled onto the wiki or
made apparent through the code. I'm excited about his ideas and fresh
perspective: check out http://consumergadget.net/ and the mashup
http://consumergadget.org/mash.php?ean=0091201072033. Wesa is from
Finland, so English is not his first language and he's on a funny
schedule time-wise. Probably not more funny than Dan's.

I don't expect Wesa to work on the BILUMI application itself, at least
not right away.[1] He and his team are building an application for
Make IT Fair (http://makeitfair.org/) that uses our database and data
model through our new RESTful API
(http://bilumi.org/trac/wiki/ExternalApi). Wesa, don't hestitate to
chime in with additional thoughts or corrections.

There is still much work to do on the external API, the web app, data
gathering and future interfaces (SMS, quickrate facebook, firefox
extension).

Chia, Pepe: You both moved out of town this summer, yet marvelously
express interest in continuing to work on BILUMI. Do let me know if a
particular project excites you and what obstacles are preventing you
from getting back into the thick of things. I am happy to acquaint you
back with the code or work with you to define a work module.

Dan, welcome back from Colorado. I love the structures code. It made
the GET api so easy. Let's meet sometime to touch base about the code.

Clay is continuing Chia's template improvements on the user and browse
pages of the site. I expect that will go out live in the next week.

Cheers,
Lucy.

[1] I admit, I committed revision 902. In the future I'll try harder
to stay under the commit-per-day limit, but I couldn't resist
committing some more after I broke things.  At any rate, if Wesa and
his team want to make actual use of our repo, say a folder in
trunk/web/consumer_gadget, that would be great.

PS - I recently quit my job at Endeca. I am pleased by the prospect of
working full time on BILUMI for at least the rest of September and
October.
