Metrics 0.2 Released

Well, my o.2 was finally released. It was a very painful process getting some of the Django framework to work properly with my database layout. I don't know why they haven't fixed a lot of the issues with database relationships; you would think that those bugs would be the first ones they'd jump on. However, I guess there are other issues to resolve?

For those who don't know what my 0.2 is about, the release basically was to create the database infrastructure for the metrics data that I would be receiving from the metrics extension (firefox browser). The database structure was created using the Django framework; which as I already posted makes Web and database work easier. The framework basically helped me create all the MySql tables, an administrator page w/ logins, search functionality, and methods to help with the CRUD.

My 0.3 release will now be creating a python script that uses the database models I created in my 0.2 to parse all the data from client into the database. Hopefully, this will be a semi easy task. I don't think parsing will be a problem or even getting the data; however, I'm not 100% sure if I can just use a python scripts to do all these tasks ( I'm a completely new to python). Although, some people of the Django community told me it would be possible and I will try to take their advice and get the ball rolling.

For anyone who wants more information on the project or try it out for themselves, just install all the necessary apps for Django Installation and do the setups for your platform then head on over to my wiki on zenit and get the source code; please use the nightly. Then unzip it into any directory, load up a shell, and use "python manage.py runserver" in the root directory of my project ("you_directory/metrics/").
