Porting the whole website to django

[Adnane Belmadiaf]

Right now on d.u.c we have two things :
- 1 wordpress instance for handling only posts and pages
- 1 django app to handle the APIs

With the actual architecture we have :
- two search inputs, the main one only searches on the wp stuff and the second one which present _only_ on the api page only searches on the django models
- two login systems the wordpress one and the django auth/openid using LP group
- a non localised website

and i believe it's hard to maintain an architecture like this.

My proposal is to extend the django app and port wp posts/pages functionality which will give us:
- A unified search across the while site page with one input search
- A unified login system using Ubuntu SSO
- A localised site!!!
- A simple architecture easy to maintain

As much as I like this idea, we would need to add CMS and blogging functionality to Django to replace the same functionality in Wordpress. I know there are Django apps to do this, but it requires a lot of research and even more work. Marking this as wish-list for now.

I have already worked on something similar while working on the cloud portal
