* implement a comment system for the bodega system (2)

* add support in our clients(bodega-client and bodega-webapp-client) for the

collections. (3)

-detailed description

(1): The server doesn't support the rating of an asset.

Our system shouldn't use the common 5-star system because

it is well known that this system isn't meaningful 

http://xkcd.com/1098/ 

:)

So our system will have predefined categories for each kind of assets.

For instance the books will have different categories from the applications.

Each asset type will have categories which will map to numeric values

from 1-5.

Also the bodega-server will offer an API in order our clients to be able to 

take the data.

(2): The common way for a comment system in a store is this one(check the screenshot). The problem with this approach is that it becomes chaotic after a

number or replies and there is no way to take some valuable information within 

a logical amount of time.

So our solution should be a forum. Using a forum system makes it much more

easier to find useful information in a short amount of time.

So we need a forum

*  in which our users will be able to login with their bodega account

*  each participant who has upload an asset in the store will have a forum

and for each asset that he has uploaded a sub-forum will be created.

-technical details

we will use an existing forum system such as phpbb,

in which

* I will implement a json API with which the bodega-server

will communicate and create the appropriate forums and sub-forums.

* make it possible to connect with the bodega-server credentials.

(3): The bodega-server offers an API for the collections(most downloads, most views, etc) but our clients doesn't support this API. So I will implement this functionality.

-Timeline

(1) rankings:

-2 weeks for implementing the feature

-1 week for creating the public API

(2) comment system:

-2 week for implementing the login feature

-3 weeks for implementing the public API

-1 week for implementing support for it in the bodega-server

(3) collections:

-1 week for implementing it in the bodega-client

-1 week for implementing it the core functionality in the bodega-webapp-client

-1 week for implementing the ui in the bodega-webapp-client

2 weeks for finishing the loose ends
