Weather Awareness System

This is the proof-of-concept implementation of WAS. Read more.

It requires Django 1.6 and Python 2.7 (as packaged e.g. in Ubuntu 14.10.)

General deployment roadmap

1. Plug into your authentication system so people don't have to log onto WAS specifically
2. Add an HTML template as appropriate to {% include %} into your web application
3. Add or customize problem_detected signal handlers (see weather\signals.py)
4. Determine a moment when it is appropriate to show the block, and show it to the user at that time.
5. Secure the contents of the TodayVotes table, for example through database roles. The other tables defined in the weather application contain public data.
6. Schedule a daily job as appropriate for your system. It should run python manage.py do_day_rollover.
7. Remove (or customize) the bootstrapping code in the init function of the models.py file.
