#1) Ready! Context diagram Preston and Phil and Jason:
- want: dynamic explanation of how Dj fits into whole infrastructure
- Preston: made visual diagram
- Phil (with Travis) -- worked on onhover tips that pop up over each part of the diagram
- worked with Russell and Carl for technical feedback
###Next Steps:
- check the text/content and make suggestions
#2) Setup Dana and Nick
- Created setup page (for mac) on wiki
- virtualenv wrapper
- Dana walked through a version of Nick's tutorial.
- Would like to add extra instructions: for advanced packages, diving into tutorial. Instructions for "recommended" packages like homebrew, XCode, git, gcc, debug toolbar
- get enough to get tutorial running in dev environment
- base project templates
###Next steps:
- get database
- link more terms to the glossary
- Linux setup
#3) Go! Tutorials Esther, Mjumbe
- Refactoring the tutorial to be more friendly to absolute beginners
- Finished Part 1 of tutorial
- Patched one bug
- Removed sections that seemed tangential to goals
- Created a new branch with our changes.
- Might make pull request - mini-patches or giant patch?
###Question: where to put apps? (See Line 316 in Tutorial01.txt)
- Don't want them in the project folder (tutorial is wrong!)
- So that it's easier to package up
- Single directory for all apps; create a package for each app
- What is the best practice?
#4) Deploy! Tim and David
- Found common problems w/ EC2, though gondorio etc have good docs
- Too many choices for newbies to make, no idea which solution is best for a working site
- Making Fabric scripts to create virtual machine (Vagrant?) with Ubuntu server to deploy code.
- The confusion between setup in virtual development environment (virtualenv stuff) and and deployment in production -- better explanations of both things to newbies
###Next steps:
- For beginners, find and provide a single good, solid deployment strategy
- A "zero-setup option" so users can show other people their site easily
- Finish Fabric script for deployment to EC2 from Ubuntu server
#Glossary - Dana
- add virtualenv, virtual machine
