  22 3. Support points map status
  23 mongolito404 started to work on a new support points map. The goal for the first version is have the features on the current map.ubuntu-be.org except the map itself:
  24  - user registration/authenticiation (handled by Drupal)
  25  - a user can assert his/her commitments (demo, install, distribute), becoming a supporter
  26  - a supporter can assert the language(s) he/she speaks
  27  - a supporter can assert his/her level of expertise (beginner, intermediate, expert)
  28  - a visitor can search supporter to selected commitments (or all)
  29  - support search result is displayed as a list
  30  - a visitor can mail a supporter though a contact form (with some form a spam protection)
  31 
  32 The current code is available at https://code.launchpad.net/~mongolito404/support.points.map/trunk.
  33 Developer are invited to contribute any way they can. The current state of the code is not suitable for non-developer. Next week, mongolito404 will try to provide an installation guide targeted at developer without Drupal knowledge. At this state of the project, the skills needed to contribute are minimum knowledge of PHP and some experience with code versioning (svn, git, bzr, etc.). Experience with Drupal, both as developer or as web master is a plus but not required.
  34 
  35 Useful resources for developer are
  36  - http://bazaar-vcs.org/ - The version control system for the project
  37  - http://drupal.org/getting-started/before - Understanding Drupal
  38  - http://drupal.org/contributors-guide - Developing for Drupal
  39 
  40 Anyone interested to help can contact mongolito404 on Jabber or IRC (in #ubuntu-be).
