Why is Slengpung frozen since 2020?

Sesse: That's definitely not my experience with it. You can indeed leave it out and roll your own, but then you'll also be missing out on stuff like the permissions model and the admin module, and the amount of refinement it's had over time (from security-critical things like increasing hash complexity, to subtle UI things like not leaking the presence or absence of an email address via the password reset workflow) mean that you're not likely to come up with something better yourself. And I've had no issues integrating it with everything from LDAP, Azure and Okta to SceneID.
Maybe you are already doing that, but maybe it makes that you share some code with T-101?
I have no issues or problems with django authentication, I know very well how to use it, and I know why I should use it. This isn't my first rodeo. Other scene related django apps I've coded are Partyman party management system and the infamous Darklite Partywiki.
My roadmap going forward is crystal clear. I know what needs to happen, I know what to do and I know how to do it.

Sounds promising but don't reject help if it's an overall improvement. I bet there are a lot peeps here that want contribute stuff. Design, Features etc.
Many cooks + overhead, just let the man do...
I hope SceneCity isn't built with that mindset... in web dev: always assume the worst, these are public servers and SceneID is an open network, anyone can register.

Also, in general: Don't assume that much malice.

Oh sweet summer child... If that was the case, most demoscene websites wouldn't be the state in which they are in right now.
totally unacceptable? as always...time for som ultras heh
T-101: Any progress on this? Not aware of this thread, I recently spent some time on something similar, but I went in a different direction:
I'm scraping the public images, and sticking them into a fairly minimal Hugo-site. That way, submissions could be done using merge-requests on github or gitlab or wherever, instead of having to deal with having an admin team do the work (apart from approving merge-requests, that is).
But, to be honest, I actually wonder if the better approach would be a PixelFed instance instead. That way, we'd get mobile apps and all that modern jazz without having to write it all ourselves. Perhaps it would be worth-while to write a tool to import a user's submitted pictures into their user, though.

T-101: bumping this, because also curious what's the state or if it will be picked up again
Creating merge requests with pictures in it might be even more problematic in terms of gdpr or personal image rights because then the pictures need to be uploaded to Github as a 3rd Party (and probably US servers) even before they can be approved or declined.
Ok, to make short story long:
My laptop died and it had a LOT of scripts I used to upload actual data to the codebase. The code itself was in a repo, with the scripts were not. That was a major bummer, especially after I got a go-ahead from the founders of SlengPung. So I basically just threw my hands and decided to fuck it.
Fast-forward two years. I got inspired at Black Valley when tFt/darklite candidly spoke how he misses SP. That, and some kind yet yearning messages from others got me thinking and I went through the trouble and setup the old codebase again.
Tonight I made strides as I coded again the stuff I lost and made some more. It's basically at a state where I just need to figure out the image/thumbnail serving and it's ready for readonly access.
But we don't want that - we need peeps to admin the stuff. Well, I got those. Peeps I trust, many of them.
The main thing is that I really, REALLY, don't want to be the only one developing and maintaining the code. This boils down to the fact that if no one is willing to lend me hand in this python Django 5.2 project, then I might abandon this. After six years of PartyMan and stuff pertaining to it, I'd rather have a person or two to bounce ideas with and discuss feedback.
So this is where I throw the ball to you, the users. Will someone raise a hand and share the troubles with me?

T-101: Honestly I wish that I could help but I'm both too inexperienced and not established in the scene yet to do so, maybe in a year or two it'll be different, but I hope in the meantime you get the help you need to bring back Slengpung! <3
I also miss Slengpung. What kind of stuff needs to be done here @T-101?
