Remake Belg.be
I would like to say a few words about a new project I've got myself into.
In 2000 I've builded myself Belg.be, now, 4 years later I finally found the time for a remake. Luckily my closest friends (Mathias Teugels, Michel Van Damme) where willing to help me out with constructing a new webpage in the form of a school project written in Python with the django framework. This with a totally new concept.
Where it was in the past just an ordinary newspage we decided to build a crossing between reddit and igoogle.
The news aspect will remain, but the design can be changed by a user in the form of their pleasing. Also will the user be able to manually post news articles, add RSS feeds and add extra modules provided by us like a easy TV-Guide.
The progress I've made with the web and database design are wonderfull, all I can do now is wait for the others to kick in.
Here I'll post a sneak preview of the design. Hope you like the result.
Also I would like to thank Michel and Mathias for their participation.
With kind regards,
Tim
The official pySM (python server managem…
The official pySM (python server management) website is finally online an can be visited at http://www.pysm.be
I finally managed to finalize the webserver as an beta version and am currently working on a template system for the frontend.
The current template can also be seen on the pySM website.
I know, this was a short post, just to keep you all informed, but I promise i'll be back soon with more.
With kind regards,
Tim
pySM frontend
I know, I know...
It has been a long time since I've posted an update here but hey, no one is perfect 
Altough I had no time to post, I did have the time to program a little more on pySM.
The progress I've made in these few days is magnificent. I've managed to write a simple config interface and totally excited by the fact how easy it is to implement this "shizzle" with python, the fact I've made a configparser package makes it really easy for me to implement an config xml based configparser.
Jeej for python...
Yesterday I've also finished an basic webserver with basic functions. this way I can easy determine what page the user requires and reply with the right page, I still have some work remaining on this part. Also, I still have to make the webserver modular so it can be easily used in other projects.
For now, I'm still wondering what I'll use as template manager or maybe write my own for easy webpage generation based on the server info. I'm also trying to find an easy way to load modules dynamically.
Anyhow, Lot's of progress has been made but we aren't there yet...
Cheers,
Tim
pySM
pySM is an open source project by me, Mathias and Michel. We've managed to link the development to our school project, thereby increasing the chances of actually finishing the project to an excellent product.
More about pySM
pySM is short for python Server Management. Meaningless to say, we're building the project on python code.
We'll try to make an easy and up-to-date tool to manage your personal (or professional - later) server in a plesk-like way. We will try to make a modular system for basic (and simple) support. The main goal for us is to develop a stable and good backbone so the community (yes, you guys!) can help us by adding extra modules for the services you'd like to see supported.
pySM goals
- Easy to maintain
- Modular
- Free and Open Source
- At least similar functionality as plesk (And better!)
- File based configuration (vs the database way)
These are the goals as we're looking at it right now. They _will_ change in the future, certainly with your help.
So, we'll see you at first release date,
Tim.
