Estimated time: 15 hours
I have been working for a while to "port" the Pinax Blog Application to App-engine using App engine patch.
If you look at the APP-Engine-Patch group You can see exactly where I am and I have the code on Bit Bucket
Tasks
Get basic posting/retrieval working, add back currently removed features.
Tools
Google group, here http://groups.google.com/group/app-engine-patch/browse_thread/thread/a9b64fa6cae47154?hl=en
Bitbucket Here http://bitbucket.org/tbrander/pinaxcombo/
The group already has a long thread on this , mostly illustrating my early stage learning with Python/Django and App-engine
But I think I'm close to goal One.
Making headway, Django admin works to add, modify and display posts and can display single posts. Next, see if I can get multiple posts to display and see if I can get other disabled features going. Note repo not completely up to date so, let me know and I'll push current.

Can now display multiple post headers which are live links to post detail, the summary page and post detail page can now be seen on the public web site. This is still very rough and needs features added back that were removed to make overall work. See the Google app-engine-patch group for details on what has been done and how.

Looks good so far. I was able to create a blog post and publish it. It seems like the next big feature will be comments.

I have gotten a fair ways along and know nothing of Python/Django, but have gotten a lot of help, someone who knows something could probably move the ball ahead far faster!!
