[SciPy-Dev] Testing and taking forward scipy central

[Surya]

Hello everyone,

Looks like I haven't posted anything in the list for a long time! I hope to
be pretty much active as far as SciPy Central is concerned.

There have been quite a lot of changes in the scipy central source
​ ​
in the past few years.
​We have majorly developed a new front-end design, added some features like
comments, feeds, and rewriting some pieces.

Thanks to Sebastian, Pauli for their
​help, and ​
contributions. ​

​Brief information fo
r newbies in the community:

Repo: https://github.com/scipy/SciPyCentral
​

​Development Environment: Python 2.7, Django 1.4.5;
Front-end is based on Twitter Bootstrap 2.3.2, jQuery 1.9

​
Development setup is written in `README`​


Docs (initial version I started a year ago):
https://github.com/scipy/SciPyCentral/wiki/Newbie


I've just started with manual testing to see if there are any critical bugs
still present. My other agendas in coming days are to write documentation,
identify bottlenecks - improve response times of pages.

So, it would be great to hear from anyone interested in contributing this
project.

One can start looking into issue tracker in the repo and try to address
them.
Issue Tracker: https://github.com/scipy/SciPyCentral/issues

Otherwise, one can try to finish up the voting feature (to vote
submissions) I started building (which couldn't be merged into master yet).
It is built on the top of `django.contrib.comments` module.
