Tribes Concept still valid

[schacki]

Hi all,

I was wondering what the futore plans of the the tribe concept are. They are not covered in the docs anymore and in none of the available projects. Is this related to django-rubberstamp somehow?

Thanks a lot

Please help

I cant speak to the tribes app really, but Eldarion has been working
on a separate groups app with us for GeoNode.
https://github.com/eldarion/geonode/tree/social-synth/src/GeoNodePy/geonode/groups
... Not sure what the plan is for this kind of support in core Pinax
... which seems to be in flux.

thanks for the hint jeff,

nevertheless some plans, guidance from the pinax team would be helpful here

[schacki]

i just found this package from brian rosner:  https://github.com/brosner/django-groups

which is an extract from pinax 0.7.

but it does not look like it is maintained and therefore i doubt, if this will be used in any pinax apps in the future?

and again: some feedback from the pinax team would be helpful.

thanks

I asked James Tauber about this recently, and he echoed that the
'group' space is indeed in flux, and there isn't an app to recommend
at the moment. The 'bridge' concept presented in django-groups is
important, but future work will probably not continue in that app.
Maybe some community effort to combine ideas from geonode groups,
django-groups and tribes is needed, so that soon, we will have one
group app which can support all things Pinax.

James said, "one thing we realized is that there are two very distinct
features":
1) something for managing *scope*
2) something for managing membership

Scope meaning, "basically what the bridge stuff is doing" in
django-groups. Membership options such as invitation only without
opt-on, invitation only with opt-in, request-to-join with approval
required, free-for-all, are required.

Also I suggest reading the post about pinax groups. It is from 2008,
but still relevant:
http://jtauber.com/blog/2008/11/09/groups_tribes_and_projects_in_pinax/

It would be great to hear what other developers, and especially the
Pinax devs, are expecting to have in the Pinax groups app. It would be
even better if activity began centering around one app.

best,
Tom

"It would be even better if activity began centering around one app. "

great idea, where should that activity around one app being placed? especially the initial discussion on what the one app should do and not do and how the api should look like?

just continue on this thread?

this looks like i will do brainstorming with myself ... :-(
