A few years ago, I volunteered to help on h-node.
I wanted to figure out what was hindering the development of this project.
As it happens, the server side code is out of date with the h-source codebase,
and may have been altered without being under version control.
Therefore, the code on h-node server is a different version than the h-source
repo,
as I understand, but I do not have access to the server.
Antonio, the main developer, has stopped developing h-node, but has continued
working
on the "easygiant" framework that underpins the h-node server code.
It is my opinion that to bring this project into a more up-to-date and workable
state,
the database should be preserved as a dump and kept on the server, but all
tables
(**except** the user table(s) containing sensitive password hashes) should be
available
for study/development.
I think it would be time better spent to rewrite the site in python-django and
preserve
the existing data, than to try to pick up the pieces on a php-based codebase
that
has fallen out of sync with the code repo.
I would be happy to devote some time to rewriting the site in django,
but I would need access to a partial database dump as described above.
Cheers,
Damien
