Moving to Google AppEngine
I’ve decided to rewrite the back-end of MovieLandmarks in Python and move it over to Google’s AppEngine. This should allow me to focus on developing features for the site without having to worry (too much) about scalability and reliability of the servers it is running on.
I have plans to re-activate user submissions for content, as well as extensive use of jQuery for the User Interface dialogs. The basic clean design will remain the same, with dialogs being used for adding and editing the content of the site.
The landmark clustering will also be rewritten from scratch in Python, with the goal to improve its speed and my understanding of how it actually works. I will be blogging about this as I work through it since Google Map object clustering seems to be a subject that alot of people are interested in.
