I patched django-springsteen to take advantage of Google App Engine's memcached api, and as promised have streamlined the process of deploying Springsteen on GAE.
Checkout the repository.
git clone git://github.com/lethain/django-springsteen.gitRun the
pack_for_gae.shscript.chmod +x ./scripts/pack_for_gae.sh ./scripts/pack_for_gae
Open up
gae/app.yamland change the first line fromdjangosearchto the name of the application you registered on GAE.Create the file
gae/boss_settings.pywhich should look like this:BOSS_APP_ID = 'my-boss-app-id'
Run that sucker.
dev_appserver.py ./
You'll probably still want to read the first tutorial to get an idea of how to customize Springsteen and take advantage of its functionality.
Let me know if there are any issues.
Will, wonderful as always. Thank you so much for your unceasing dedication.
From your previous post this floored me: "I think it's pretty amazing how far the landscape has evolved to be able to roll out a product like this at no cost and essentially no effort.
I guess it's our responsibility to take advantage of it."
I feel like I am watching, and hope to be a part of, the next great unfolding information availability. One more step towards the singularity, one more step towards true information ubiquity. The next great unfolding of human potential!
Hi Josh,
There is always a frontier somewhere, but I'm not sure where the current frontier is. Targeted search verticals may be part of it, and seem like a more likely-to-succeed trend than attempts to conceptually rethink search.
Hmm. Back to unfolding I suppose. :) I wish Delicious had an open search api rather than topic based feeds...
