SRCT Bookshare is a platform for GMU students to buy and sell their textbooks.
Bookshare is still in its very early stages and needs all the help it can get. Even if you don't feel like you can be helpful with the more technical aspects, we definitely need designers, technical writers, and testers.
There are many things that can be done with this project (see the "To Do" section), but sometimes it's the small things that count, so don't be afraid of contributing just a small spelling mistake.
If you need help at all please contact any SRCT member. We want people to contribute, so if you are struggling, or just want to learn we are more than willing to help.
Tahe project lead for this project is Eric Cawi ( ecawi@gmu.edu ) and lead developer is Michel Rouly ( jrouly@gmu.edu ).
Please visit the SRCT Wiki for more information on this and other SRCT projects, along with other helpful links and tutorials.
You'll need to create a mysql database 'bookshare' with username 'bookshare' and an appropriate password to run it out of the box locally. (Otherwise, you'll need to configure it for the database of your choice in the settings.py file.)
Make sure to install everything you need in your virtual environment from the requirements file.
When you run $ pip install -r requirements.txt to install all Python modules, make sure to run $ pip migrate website && pip migrate bids && pip migrate easy_thumbnails.
