It is time that I babble about my project for Google Summer of Code 2010!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the summer, I will be working on Harvest with Daniel Holbach as my awesome mentor. Harvest is a neat web service, built with Django, that brings together opportunities (things that need doing), from many different places on the web. Those opportunities are all neatly linked to source packages, which are, themselves, nicely described by package sets like ubuntu-desktop, unr, xubuntu and kernel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Suffice it to say, Harvest is a huge database with a lot of intricate detail. It can be really helpful to see all this stuff in one place. My task is to implement views that harness all that data and resist the temptation to throw it all at the user at once. The result should be really helpful, quick and fun to use. (This may be difficult; I can be a very wordy person).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first stage to achieving that is filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m using an existing wiki page<\/a> as a starting point, which has one very pretty mockup. I created a mockup of my own, full of crazy tangents and marked by the single worst green pencil I have ever used.<\/p>\n\n\n
