Description:

This is the source code of the mloss.org website.

The website contains quite a few features and is also quite specific, so you may or may not find it useful for your means. The features include:

• a registration system for users of the site
• a database of user submitted software projects
• a rating system for the projects
• a commenting system for the projects
• access-statistics to the projects
• a blog (although articles have to be entered directly through django's admin interface)
• a forum
• email notifications for tracking projects and the forum
• a tool which automatically extracts projects in the "machine learning" section from CRAN (a repository for packages for the R programming language)

The source code is organized into several sub-directories, so called "applications". Each directory is organized more or less according to the django standard, at least containing a definition of the models in models.py, and of the url mappings in urls.py. If you want to find out how a specific url is processed, have a look at the urls.py which tell you which method takes care of the request.

Changes to previous version:

Now works with newer django versions and fixes several warnings and minor bugs underneath. The only user visible change is probably that the subscription and bookmark buttons work again.
