[edit] Status
Development of the Django application which was started in the fall of 2011 has been shelved indefinitely. Instead of developing our own from-scratch app, we plan to move forward starting with Sharetribe.
[edit] Version 1 Development
[edit] Website Copy
[edit] Home Page
Permabank is a free space for people to share with each other.
By having participants list and describe their 'gifts' and 'wishes', making this information easily searchable, and providing the means for direct contact, the hope is that the bonds created by giving will strengthen the community that uses it.
[edit] Open questions
Hosting - where will we host PermaBank? Server - what server are we using with Django - nginx? Apache?
[edit] Long-Term Development Roadmap

Permabank About Goes Here
This first release of Permabank is an online space for people to share freely with each other.
By having participants list and describe their 'gifts' and 'wishes', making this information easily searchable, and providing the means for direct contact, the hope is that the bonds created by giving will strengthen the community that uses it.
[edit] Existing Code Bases
Project-based Team Builder:

He hasn't opened the code yet, but he's looking for a test case...
And then there's this:

And this:
Ulele.com
(a django/python crowdfunding site, appears to be strictly closed, but founder says he is "a fan of open source", so perhaps?)
Also (again): http://wadobo.com/trac/timebank
[edit] Open questions
We are using Whoosh for text search, but it probably won't scale when we have thousands of active users. What should we swap in? Solr? Xapian?
