<h2>Version 2.00: Django Port of the Public Datatracker Pages</h2>
<div class="alert-info">
To be written.
</div>
<p>
This release was a complete re-write of the CGI/Perl-based IESG datatracker
in Python, using the Django framework. It comprised about 8000 lines of
Python code, and 6000 lines of template code. The work was done as a
skunkworks project by Bill Fenner and Henrik Levkowetz from mid-April
to mid-May 2007, and continued as an official project from then on. The
aim was to eliminate numerous SQL injection insecurities in the current
code, and also provide a better framework on which to build future enhancements.
During the most intensive period, Bill and Henrik worked 10 hours per day
to get all public pages ported and released. The release was deployed
in the early hours of 28 June 2007, and nobody noticed the change :-))
