Where to find us

Planning, discussion and review of technical work for the Grand Comics Database primarily takes place on the gcd-tech mailing list.

Technical Details

Large Project List

These are the really big things we'd like to work on in the next few years. Some are already underway. Others may not start for a year or more.

REST API with DRF

This will use Django Rest Framework 2.x and start out with a basic read-only API for accessing the same public data that is provided in the SQL dumps.

UI Revamp

The UI needs a revamp. The my.comics.org project is already using Bootstrap for the UI, and we are investigating to do the same with the main site. Other front-end technologies may be endorsed as well as we flesh out this project.

Who's Who implementation and integration

The GCD is the custodian of Jerry Bails' Who's Who with a mandate to integrate it with the current GCD and support updates to the Who's Who data. A working committee set up by the GCD Board has produced a set of requirements for this work which will be linked to this wiki at some point.
