SwampDragon

Looking for someone to take over

I no longer have time to support this project, so I am looking for someone to take over. Please raise an issue in the issue tracker if you are interested in taking over the maintenance of SwampDragon.

Help needed, and the future of SwampDragon

SwampDragon has a lot of dependencies, and is heavily dependent on Django. One of the libs that SwampDragon is dependant on is https://github.com/leporo/tornado-redis, and this project looks like it might no longer be maintained (I believe Leporo has done a great job with this library and I understand that he may no longer have time to maintain it) Going forward I have decided that this needs a solution.

So the current plan for SwampDragon is this:

Remove as many external dependencies as possible
Make it work with other frameworks like Flask etc. (i.e remove Django as a required dependency)
Better testing
More code coverage
Swappable serializer (it should be possible to use 3rd party serializers like that of DRF)
SelfPublishModel needs rewriting and should be a separate module
... and much more
Proper contribution guidelines

How to get there

This is a big job and help is required to get there. Anything from writing code and tests to reviewing PRs etc. would be appreciated.

If you are interested in helping out let me know.

General conversations about this can be found here: #161

Build real-time web applications with Django.

Features:

Real-time data
Self publishing model
Make use of the wonderful features of Django
Serializers handling Django models
Customisable field serializers
Routers that are easy to understand

SwampDragon makes use of Djangos wonderful ORM, Tornados excellent websocket support (with fallback. Tested in IE7), and Redis blazing speed.
