Sprint Ideas

"All Hands" Tasks (good for beginners)

• Create a site which showcases existing Pyramid/Pylons-powered websites.
• Change licenses for all Pylons projects to 2-clause BSD or MIT equivalent (from RPL)
• edit and reorganize cookbook at https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid_cookbook
• Debug toolbar screencast
• Pyramid tutorial screencast
• Do a tutorial walk-thru and identify hard to follow parts and suggest fixes
• PDB Tutorial
• Add better docs about how Python packages relate to Python modules.
• SEO optimization for Pyramid docs
• content population for http://pyramid.opencomparison.org/
• Tutorial or cookbook recipe for how to work with Pyramid in PyCharm
• Create docs for people coming from web framework X and presenting them which tools are closer to what they already know.

Focused tasks (require specific knowledge or context)

• General bugfixing of all Pylons Project packages: https://github.com/organizations/Pylons/dashboard/issues/repos?direction=desc&sort=created&state=open
• X-platform (Win/UNIX/py2/py3/pypy) session storage
• Make it easier to debug i18n problems
• Fix tox to cope with the ability to test distributions that have namespace package dependencies (e..g. "transaction").
• allow better extension support for debugtoolbar
• web-enabled interactive debugger ala pdb as toolbar extension (pie in sky)
• pretty up debugger toolbar
• add warning messages to old versions of documentation and link to latest release
• factor mako and chameleon templating bindings into external packages (Carlos and Reed did some of this at PyCon 2012).
• generate colander/deform schemas from sqlalchemy models (admin interface) https://github.com/Themanwithoutaplan/pyramid_debugtoolbar/wiki/Generate-colander-deform-schemas-from-sqlalchemy-models-(admin-interface)
• refactor beaker to remove the crappy container implementation and use dogpile instead. Implement dogpile extensions for back-end specific locking to replace the horrible back-end container stuff.
• work on Substance D application server (https://github.com/Pylons/substanced)
• Come up with formalized (think "math-formalized", not "IEEE-formalized") description of how Pyramid view lookup works so we can figure out how to speed it up
• Figure out how to speed up route matching
• Tools for configuring and managing pyramid apps w/ zookeeper
• Allow debug toolbar to work with REST-only servers that never serve HTML pages
