Unity is a Project Manager built by me for Wozia, using Django. It lacks a few features (like search and chat), but since it's not being used anymore, I've decided to post it up here as it might be helpful for someone else.

It uses Backbone.js, LESS, CoffeeScript and was built in mid-2012, with only minor incremental updates, so some things might be outdated already.

It uses Mandrill to send emails.

NOTE: I didn't remove all links and logos from Wozia (though they will not work), so be sure to do that yourself. You'll find all occurrences in mytemplates/* (and this README.md file).

This will not go through having a Django project running using fastcgi or whatever, I assume you know how to do that. I just list here a few things you'll need to install (you might have some if you're already running some Django projects). I'm also using Debian as a base, but it shouldn't be too hard to find other Linux equivalents.

apt-get install python-mysqldb python-flup python-django python-imaging python-imaging-tk python-pip

NOTE: On Debian squeeze, squeeze-backports repository may be needed for more up-to-date versions. Then you can install using:

apt-get -t squeeze-backports install python-django

pip install django_compressor
pip install django-extensions
pip install django-imagekit
pip install pytz

Install node.js ( http://nodejs.org/ ) for coffee-script and less.

You are expected to have the production settings on unity/settings.py and you can override them creating a unity/local_settings.py file (already ignored by git)

To synchronize the DB and generate the CSS/JS minified and concatenated files, run:

cd PATH_TO_PROJECT_DIR && python manage.py syncdb && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

And off you go!
