| 162 | | === Projects === |
| 163 | | These are more extensive projects that would require a longer term commitment over several months. These would be suitable for GSoC projects. |
| 164 | | |
| 165 | | Also, have a look at a BluePrint or [wiki:Projects/Advanced Projects List] to see some more advanced code contributions which are needed. |

| 203 | | * Add a default link to log a bug in Sunflower - which copies the current URL to the “Source” field |
| 204 | | * Log a bug when an error is encountered |
| 205 | | * If not already logged for this bug |
| 206 | | * Ability to “vote” on tasks |

| 209 | | Mentors: Fran Boon, ... |
| 210 | | * Fabric scripts to be able to deploy Eden |
| 211 | | - can extend https://github.com/lifeeth/spawn-eden |
| 212 | | - select physical servers &/or Amazon EC2 account (walk-through creating keys/certs, region(s)) |
| 213 | | - select server roles distribution |
| 214 | | - select Database (MySQL or PostgreSQL/PostGIS) |
| 215 | | - select Webserver (Apache/mod_WSGI or Cherokee/uWSGI) |
| 216 | | - select Template |
| 217 | | - install all necessary/chosen components on the selected servers |
| 218 | | - add optional co-apps, such as GeoServer &/or OptaPlanner |
| 219 | | - optionally run Load Tests & then cleanup |
| 220 | | * add simple UI (e.g. web2py or Tk app) |
| 221 | | - this could then develop into a WebSetup app |
| 222 | | |
