This first week was a little hectic, specially because we had to setup everything to finally start working on the project, we ran into some problems installing some things in Windows, but nothing out of the ordinary and everything ended up working out, the main problem came when trying to install mysqldb on a machine running MacOsX, we couldn't even build the package whilst using Python 2.5, so we tried with Python 2.6, but we were unable to import the .egg to python properly
Thats when we decided to develop the entire project using Windows, besides this way we wouldn't have to change some paths (like the templates path in settings.py) when changing from a Unix based machine to a Windows one, we also installed tortoise so we could simplify the use of subversion thus making us use it more.
After everything was set up we started creating the register and login instances, this ended up being quite straight forward by using django forms (even the validation was already made for us), we tried to customize this a little bit, but realized that it might take some work so we decided to leave this non-essential details for later. We also used Jquery to personalize the final results, this first week had its up and downs, but we were able to do everything we had to and even more.
