working at heroku

I have launched the app at this address:

http://duluthkids.herokuapp.com/

and after some un greased wheel got greased again, it is now working
as a demo.  There is still a significant amount of fixin' to be done
however, but running is good. I mean the code - running. So in other
words with more- spittin' and polishing ... there  may be really
a there ==> there.

Also you might expect some more not sufficiently greased bits
moving ahead.

Also I sort of ( oddly ) created this site ____

https://duluthkidsnet.wordpress.com/

which at this point I plan on using to create user documentation
or instruction for the system < or something > and perhaps
extend it as organizations begin to participate.....

Meanwhile, as usual - we look forward to progress.....

initial code base - newforum6

Today - released initial code base for demo version of
duluthkids.net - to github

As in the readme there :

this code is based  loosely on combining two code bases -

flask-forum
and
django-swingtime


However, these projects were based on sql data structures while newforum6  utilizes -
mongoengine - that is based on mongodb data structure, but this project is also heavily
dependent on:  flask-admin.

Based on this code I expect to have the online demo in place

( " SOON " )
( " QUICKLY ") -
( "IN SORT ORDER"),
or ( " IN NO TIME " )

- OKAY...

As well as documentation for end users and
some general system documentation.

The current state of DuluthKids.net

Well, first things first:  Certainly we look forward to progress.

Anyway, the code base for the " Demo " phase of this project is with in days/day hopefully
not weeks from completion.  When duluthkids actually goes " live ", there will be online
registration for " organizations " --- As yet I do not have a clear definition for " organization ",
only that it will be dealt with on a case by case basis.  When we have  a " viable " group of
initial user - and choose to " GO LIVE ",  then registration will be available for
" affiliates " as well as most importantly parents of participating youth.

Also, I am endeavoring to set up what is needed for creating the non for profit which will
continue to direct on going efforts on this project.

In addition we will have hard copy material related to the functioning of the system
which I hope will also be available on request.  So it then will be possible to request
this material or some kind of e-version of it via the on-line registrations form.

So to summarize:  plan to have code base in place and DEMO running --- soon ----

Progess?

Just so you know I believe in progress - and I have been making some progress - a bit
at a bit at a bit at a bit at a bit at a time.  A bit.

Unfortunately for me I am at the point where making reliable indications about
estimated completion date is  murky, difficult and unreliable.

I would like to think that in 30 days there will be something *, I am planning on
building up and building out the git-hub location - with some submissions very
soon.  In the next week - I hope to have something in that repository - and
therefore - something available in demo form --- moving forward with increasing
utility available.

It's all going to be bits and pieces - bits and pieces.

Bit's and pieces.

About Duluth Kids Network

#1 - not talking about goats.

> Why?

It is my perception that the most of what is most valuable, precious, and in other ways
important to the people who live in Duluth is " their " children, but in reality all the
children of the city of Duluth.

So, I believe that by improving the communication between the services available to
kids throughout the city as well as making communication between groups and children
themselves better we can improve, enhance, and otherwise elevate activities for children,
and thereby improve both the quality of life for children in the community but also, and
as a direct result the quality of life for everyone in the Community.

So then, what this blog  is focused on is the details of how these types of
communication improvements may be developed and otherwise worked out,
and worked through --- so to begin with, we have to consider this as a work
in progress, that hopefully will continue progressing in meaningful and practical
ways.
