Scrum-like board in django

Hi! It has been some time since the last post…

As you know I’m developing an open source e-democracy platform called e-cidadania. The strong point of the platform is the debate system. It’s nothing like the forums we are used to see in the internet, this time is an ordered debate system.

The thing is, I’ve never developed something that complex and I’m not used to ajax interactions, but after our partners dissapeared (they were supposed to do that module) I had to start the development by myself. The debate system is very much like a kanban or scrum board (in fact I plan to revamp it for that) and I’m almost finishing the frontend. Since I have no experience with this maybe I’ve got the wrong approach, but “it works” for now (if you want to give me some advice you’re very welcome).

The current frontend is based on a table, jQuery sortables and a bunch of javascript to give the table the needed flexibility. Here goes a screenshot!
