web2pyslices migration

[Bruno Rocha]

Hello everyone.

web2pyslices server is being migrated from Nathan server for my server, so the site can be down for a while, I'll try to put it to work as quickly as possible. Max tomorrow evening the site will be back and running on my new server, no change and keeping the same data and users.

Me and Martin have begun work on a new site for web2pyslices, we plan this to bea sort of central resource for developers working with web2py, and a kind of social network of programmers that will contain recipes, plugins, applications, tips, videos, tutorials and people for sharing information about web2py. (we have some other secret ideas for the site)

We will try to integrate the most from the book, from the official site, the group and the most used social networking(facebook, twitter, bitbucket, github, etc).

But this is a hard work and certainly take us a bit of time, web2pyslices continue working until when we're ready to migrate all the existing content to the new site.

For now we are working to establish the foundations of this new application and any hint, suggestion, idea will be thoroughly evaluated.

Thanks and sorry if it goes off for some time.

Eventually, until it is offline, you can access with this temporary domain

http://slices.blouweb.com/main/default/index

Thanks

I am excited to see web2pyslices 2.0 (or whatever you guys decide to
call it). Thanks Bruno and Martin!

[Bruno Rocha]

Just for curiosity, and to highlight the benefit of being backwards compatible.

Nathan was running a different version of web2py (I think an old stable one), I simply grabbed the .w2p package and deployed to the latest version of web2py, everything running well out of the box :)

This sounds amazing. Looking forward to it.

[Plumo]

wow - sounds fantastic!

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for your work. I will insist on my idea :) of creating a web2py
minimalist self-contained distributed network using it with fossil-scm
and recommend keep us updated with your advances so newbies like me can
learn from that process.

Cheers,

Offray

Great.

We really need a location to point to apart from web2py.com.

[Bruno Rocha]

Everything is a 'Slice' of web2py so we want to create a place where these slices have a meeting.

People, Plugins, Articles, Links, Apps, Projects etc, All in one place.

We just started the work, hope to release the alpha.web2pyslices.com in few days

What do you think of having a wiki on the framework and its libraries in 
web2pyslices?

web2pyslices?

I don't know if a wiki is needed, in web2pyslices we are planning to have a follow system, so people will be able to follow slices, and people will be able to fork slices, Slices can be anything (it is like a post), but it is a post specifically categorized and with exclusive features for each category.

We can add the functionality to make a slice public, so anyone can edit a slice (option-able by the creator of the slice) 

Slices will be connected itself with other slices (slices follows slices), so we finish having a tree of related stuff.

Imagine the workflow:

Enter web2pyslices

Search keyword 'form'

results shows : 

5 last people who recently have 'form' on his actions

5 latest recipes/tutorials tagged and with 'form' on content

5 lates plugins related to form

5 latest slices that follows any other slice related to 'form'

plus:

5 results from web2py source with the 'form' keyword'

5 latest google groups threads related to form

and so...

The idea is ONE PLACE for web2py related stuff.

This idea is better:)

Hi,

I'm pretty interested in the unifying view of this project and also the
idea of forking or public editing of certain slices. Seems a lot like
other idea I proposed, not only oriented to developers, but I lack the
expertise of the people who is behind this new version of Web2pyslices
and I would like to learn from them and contribute when I have more
knowledge. Will be this project free software (as in freedom)?

Cheers,

I think it is important that things be marked clearly as:

- plugin/app/recipe
- production/beta
- have a screenshot
- be hosted locally or remotely (github/bitbicket/whatever)

And as I've mentioned, it would also be helpful to have some ways to clear out the clutter of outdated/obsolete slices (e.g., plugins or recipes that have been superceded by better alternatives or new features built into web2py). For starters, it should be made easy to sort/filter by last-modified date. Maybe also include the latest version of web2py with which the slice has been tested and/or used in production by someone. Also, maybe let administrators or even regular users flag slices as out-of-date or in need of updating.

 

Thanks.

do you like web2pycentral?. :P

Our idea is to give solution to this items menu from web2py site: 

- User Voice

- Perhaps alter ego (FAQ)

- Videos

- Web2py slices

- Free Appliance

- Plugins

But we don't want to make it too complex, because the time we can dedicated to this. For comments we are going to use plugin comments. The vote system, we are going to have vote system (to show most popular) and ratings. Also for applications and plugin we are going to keep trak of downloads, to show the most download. The main idea is to promote web2py, people and projects too, open source and not.

[pbreit]

Is there any web2py-based wiki software that would work? Seems to me a simple wiki site with aggressive administration would be best. Check Rails or Django for examples. I rarely find the voting very helpful.

If you're going to include the items from Alter Ego, note that although the most recent entry is #272, it appears that the most recent entry whose title is listed on http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo is only #264, so make sure you don't miss those last few entries.

 

Also, I wonder if it would make sense to include some of the examples from http://web2py.com/examples/default/examples.

 

What about layout plugins? Right now we have this: http://web2py.com/layouts. Does it make sense to include layout plugins in the new slices site, or do layouts need their own special page/interface? If the latter, maybe http://web2py.com/layouts can still be integrated into the new site by including a link to it in the main navigation so we can truly achieve the "ONE PLACE for web2py related stuff" vision.

 

Thanks.

I created a twitter account for @web2pyslices 

For now, it will only automatic tweet about reamdom slices, comments and updates on the site, also it will tweet some random tips taken from here, google search and from the official book.

Hi Bruno,

Tried to send a message using the web2pyslices site but it didn't
work.
It resulted in
Input error: k: Format of site key was invalid
Negative Ghost Rider

My message was:

Hi Bruno or Martin,

First: thanks for your website, *very* useful.
I managed to damage my account ncdegroot. I can't login anymore. I
tried the option to send a email to reset the password, didn't work,
received no email.
I'm working on slice 125 about the multiuser mode and I would like to
continue.
Can you reset my pw for me?
Thanks in advance,

Nico de Groot

PS. Below the textbox on /main/default/contact it says: 'Input error:
k: Format of site key was invalid'

[Nico de Groot]

After some time the mail with a new password did arrive :-) You can
strike that part of my message.
