Revision history [back]
Hey, thanks for the advice!
I agree that offering this application on App Engine would be super cool in many ways and I bet that somebody will do it sooner or later with a similar project.
Speaking for myself personally - I want to focus right now on making the UI better. Would you like to jump on our boat and start a GAE branch?
The guiding principle here should be that DB backend must be easily switchable without rewrites of view functions and anything else (except the DB accessors) so that we could merge the branches easily. That may require rewriting the views and the DB API once to accommodate later changes, but I don't know anything about GAE yet (could somebody else fill in?)

I agree like the google app engine idea - mainly because of the cheap hosting they offer, the novelty and the "cool factor". Another pro- factor of using google app engine is that offering this application on App Engine would be super cool in it will generate more interest to the project - because many ways.developers want to learn GAE (including myself!).
Speaking for myself personally The scalability part is not that big of a deal, IMO. Only the lucky few hit that limit and we all know their names :).
If you are interested to develop this application us - I want to focus right now just jump on making the UI better. boat. Would you like to jump on our boat and start a the GAE branch?
Thanks again!
P.S. For now (speaking for myself only) I will focus on improving the user interface and leave the fancy programming for a bit later :). So personally I cannot drop everything and start porting this to the AppEngine yet but encourage anyone willing to do it.
