Savane is the piece of software that runs Savannah: it interfaces users and system administration. Savane manages a list of members and services for each project, and provides a flexible bug/task/support tracker. It's also responsible for replicating project services (Git, Bazaar, mailing lists, webpages, etc.) to the system.

Basically we drop the current old PHP code, and replace it using better tools, namely

  • Python: a much better programming language
  • Django: a web framework with good documentation that is easy to learn (check their excellent tutorial)
  • CSS: we want an improved web design :)

Status:

We're looking for help! If you are a:

  • Python coder
  • Web designer
  • Translator

We'd like you to join this effort to make Savannah the best Free forge :).
