Work on the Addon Server

I plan to work on the Addon Server, update the code to improve inter-operability with external tools (such as WML tools and WesCamp) and add some social content.

Server Side

I plan to work on the server code in C++, because:

C++ can easily embed python directly, or with Boost C++ Libraries (which are already one of Wesnoth' dependancies)
C++ runs on Linux AND stay easily portable to others platforms (Windows, Mac Os X...)
The biggest part of Wesnoth is in C++, so why change ?
Python tools like the WML suite of tools wan be easily usable directly from the server

Client Side

Menu

List of new addons
List of most popular (downloads or new criterias)
Search box

Each addon should have an exmpanded view, and a simple one Exmpanded view with

comment by the author
tags (officials, and author)
list of translations (versionned)

-=== Who Am I IRL ?  ===
+I plan to work on the Addon Server, update the code to improve inter-operability with external tools (such as WML tools and WesCamp) and add some social content.
-My name is Bastien Abadie, I'm french (21), living in Brittany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany).
-I'm in an engineering school (http://www.enib.fr), i'll get my master in Computer Science next year.
-Actually i work daily on a project for my school about 3D representation of ship and climate conditions of the sea. Plus there is a big network part in this project (connecting a C++ client to a matLab server and using data).
-=== ...Online ? ===
-You can contact me by mail or GTalk using lao.geek(at)gmail.com .
-My nicknames on Wesnoth are:
-* lao on the forum
-* La0 on the wiki (lao was already taken :/ )
-* lao on gna.org
-* Lao on IRC
-=== Experience ===
-==== Development ====
-I've worked on many websites as a developper (i'm not a design guy !), mostly in PHP, using XHTML/CSS, and sometimes Javascript (with Jquery).
-Many of my school's projects were made in C/C++ (nethack-like game, HTTP/HTTPS server with cgi server, paint-like ,...); I've played with JAVA too (JSF, JQuery for the web, Netbeans ide...) but I rather prefer C++ for my own personnal projects.
-Speaking of GUIs, i've made some in Tcl/TK, Qt, and C# but no GTK at the moment.
-Like most Linux developpers (... and admins) i've made lots of shell scripts, a bit of python,... and played with config files.
-==== Open Source ====
-I'm an occasional developper for ZenPhoto http://zenphoto.org, the simplest and cleanest web photo gallery! I've worked on the video support for ZenPhoto http://la0c00n.info/zenvideo . Now videos are officially supported in the core Zenphoto, no more needs for hacky patches :p I have been very busy at school this year, so little implicated recently in this project.
-I have NOT participated in any ways to the Google Summer of Code before.
-==== Games ====
-I'm not a big gamer, but enjoy some good FPS : Half Life 1&2, Portal, Counter Strike (original, not really into Source), all Call of Duty, Serious Sam (only in coop!). I like RPG games as Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights,... I play a bit on my Wii too: Zelda, Super Mario Galaxy, Wario Smooth moves.
-Now, for Open Source Games: Lbreakout2, Tremulous, frozen-bubble, ... and Wesnoth of course :)

-C++ -> easily embed python directly or with Boost
-C++ -> works on Linux AND easily portable to others
-C++ -> use classes from wesnoth code
-Wescamp
-WMLint (python tools) easily usable
