Minimum Core

Status update!

As of now, the core feature-set is functional which includes:

  • All the database schemas to store the course data.
  • Reading & parsing the SIS xml feed into the database.
  • Creating all possible schedules from a given set of courses.

Now the UIs need to be work upon. But there is an API available (thank's to the easy-to-use django-piston). The current documentation is here, until it's finalized to some point and to transfer it to the wiki.

And since there isn't any user interface yet, there's no screenshots. I'm currently evaluating various frameworks and techniques: ranging from complete JS-based frameworks to progressive enhancement techniques.

Another current issue is web hosting. I still need some location to run the server from, but the requirement of needing a constant background job to raises the cost from traditional variants.

If you like to see a more realtime view of progress and ideas, check out the Trello board.
