askbot-heroku: A Python repository from hollomancer

==========================
Askbot-Heroku - Q&A forum
==========================

This is a fork of the Askbot project - open source Q&A system, like StackOverflow, Yahoo Answers and some others.

This fork consists of an initialized Askbot installation containing the necessary modifications to deploy in heroku with a PostgreSQL database.

To deploy in heroku:

1. Create the heroku app with ``heroku create``
2. Push to the heroku repository: ``git push heroku master``
3. Set environment variables in heroku::

   $ heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=app.settings
   $ heroku config:set SECRET_KEY="some_random_value"

4. ``syncdb`` and ``migrate``::

   $ heroku run python ./manage.py syncdb
   $ heroku run python ./manage.py migrate

TODO: 5. To set up AWS:

To get a value for SECRET_KEY you can use the linux utility ``apg``.

I will try to keep this repository synced with https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git but this is not guaranteed.

The rest of this README comes from the original project.

If you are planning to add a new feature, please bring it up for discussion at our forum
(http://askbot.org/en/questions/) and mention that you are willing to develop this feature.

We will merge obvious bug fixes without questions, for more complex fixes
please add a test case that fails before and passes after applying your fix.

**Notes on using git for Askbot.** Please use topic branches only - one per feature or bugfix.
Do not add multiple features and fixes into the same branch -
those are much harder to understand and merge.
