Actually, make that major code refactor HIT.
by SixLinks Developers - Steven Skoczen
It's live now.

Groups and teams models aren't in, but I wanted to get the refactored profiles up and tested before pushing up the other stuff.

Warning. Major code refactor hitting tonight.
by SixLinks Developers - Steven Skoczen
So, in writing teams and groups, it became clear to me that profiles (and thus, avatars, badges, etc) needed to be split into its own app.

This means scary things for the upgrade process tonight.

I'll make multiple backups of everything, and all of the data should transfer over ...

by Steven Skoczen
That, along with news articles hitting the updates feed properly, and filtering for guides and fixes.

A day of fighting with Pinax, but then things got better
by SixLinks Developers - Steven Skoczen
So I spent most of the day fighting with Pixax, a what-looks-to-be awesome framework for django that would help us out a lot at SixLinks.

by SixLinks Developers - Jeff Gunther
Privacy policy and Terms of Use are now live (Terms of Use needs to be added to the bottom) and I am working on news. Confused about how/if scope fits, but I'll probably figure it out. 1 article done, 2 million to go.
