Hi.

I was talking with Jared about changes that could be deployed to our society. I was obligated to analyse it and write down my suggestions, so please read it carefully and give me your feedback.

Introduction

My main idea is to create back-end, which will be responsible for accounts, forum, game and statistics. It is huge step for our society, and I hope you wouldn't be disappointed. Statistics integration will make Battletracker useless, I don't know what would be done with current statistics, but it could be both rewritten or loose. It has some advantages, because we would have independent account management.

Some technical details
To create back-end, we need to have nice database and I think that MongoDB would be good choice there. On the top of that we could put RESTful API that could be used by WebSite and AssistApplications. I tend to pick EVE(http://python-eve.org/) as our RESTfull framework. It is quite easy to define data model, and extend it with some other features like authentication.

I have a question about collecting statistics. Would you be able to create Uscript module which will post round stats to the API? It seems to be possible.

I will try to scrach some basic accounts, sesions and authentication.

Stats are already collected and saved.
At the moment we don't do much with the data, the only exception is the toplists screens on BC and Hospital.

I will try to give you working system, your task will be implementation of the rest of our data model.

I've selected EVE cause it seems to be simple for that task, because this framework is more declarative.  You will have to write corresponding frontend application.

MySQL is good data base, but for our needs it is quite hard to use. We would be obligated to write down lot of SQL queries, or use ORM. Bout solutions have one huge disadvantage: we need to write lot of imperative code for our application and take care for proper RESTful API.

I think Zoxe will help me with that project, am I right?

You have shot yourself in the foot by acting like you have in the past.
I don't trust you enough to have you design anything concerning the Core 25Assist applications.

You don't need to believe me, I am not a priest. There wouldn't be lot of code, so you will be able to check it by yourself.

What is the upside for us?

What is the upside for us?

There could be few advantages, by it depends on you how it will be used. In my opinion back-end consolidation will be the best thing that you will get.

Of course you will have to implement new website, and change behaviour of assist client and server manager.

so... none?
