Orombo, simply put, is about conversations on the things we find interesting on the web.
The project is inspired by the need to have an online community where developers in Nigeria (and Africa) can discuss and have conversations about the things they are interested in.
The nature of the community is somewhat similar to what's currently available at reddit.com except that the developers have decided to write something similar simply for learning purposes instead of installing reddit which is actually open source.
Developers are welcome to contribute towards building this.
Git In order to contribute code to the project, you should be familiar with the git source code versioning system and how projects are managed on github.com.
We realise that quite a number of developers are likely to be using code versioning for the first time and to help out, there are materials and books out there that can help you get up to speed as quickly as possible.
The git community book is available at http://book.git-scm.com/
A git cheatsheet is available online and can be downloaded and printed from http://zrusin.blogspot.com/2007/09/git-cheat-sheet.html
You can also go through the guides on using git (and github in particular) at http://github.com/guides/Home
Django Development is currently being done using the python-based Django framework. You can learn more about Django by visiting http://www.djangoproject.com/
We've also setup a mailing list to co-ordinate and have discussions about the project. You're welcome to join us in the discussions (whether or not you're a developer). Visit http://groups.google.com/group/orombo to subscribe.
