Improving **system installation and deployment**: standalone executables (with py2exe, py2app), automated deployments via heroku or linode\r\n2. Improving content search and **content federation**: connect different Biostar instances and allow them to search content across deployments\r\n3. Better **email integration**: allow biostar to read existing email lists and be used in parallel to an email list\r\n4. **Skinning and customizations** - refactor styling and display to  allow site owners to easily customize their site.\r\n\r\nAs an example last year's GSoC project delivered a REST API to interact with the site that has been an well received feature.\r\n\r\nIn addition qualified applicants may also propose to develop more advanced features such as data sharing via BitTorrent and/or WebTorrent protocols.\r\n "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ialbert/biostar-central/issues/comments/77444625","html_url":"https://github.com/ialbert/biostar-central/issues/328#issuecomment-77444625","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ialbert/biostar-central/issues/328","id":77444625,"user":{"login":"Lohit13","id":8524578,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8524578?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13","html_url":"https://github.com/Lohit13","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Lohit13/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-05T20:26:54Z","updated_at":"2015-03-05T20:26:54Z","body":"Hi\r\nUnder improving system installation, using py2exe or py2app, suggests that the app's executable will run on a windows or a mac. So it is to be run on the local server (localhost) right? If yes, should it run on the django's light server or is some other web server (for ex-apache) to be preferred?\r\nThanks"}}
