[Sugar-devel] Sugar Network backend replacement

[Sebastian Silva]

Hi all,

As you know, Somos Azucar team keeps supporting the initial
implementation of the Sugar Network since implementation in 2012 and
deployment in 2014. We've been looking for a path forward that would
allow to continue supporting the current installed base, as well as
provide a basis to build upon.

Initial implementation was a custom back-end made by Aleksey that has
proven reliable and powerful. However, without his involvement, I don't
feel in capacity to maintain it or improve it. This has limited our
ability to push forward with the dream that Sugar Network is.

So I'm always looking for a simpler / better supported backend that can
provide an API like we have for Sugar Network.
<https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network/API>

I've noticed a Flask project to offer a REST API on top of a SQLAlchemy
<https://github.com/prahladyeri/tiddly> database model. Perhaps this is
a path forward.

With this, we would have a path forward and out of legacy implementation.

Somos Azucar works on Sugar Network on a volunteer basis and so your
input would be appreciated on this approach.

Thanks in advance,

Sebastian
