This release was a complete re-write of the CGI/Perl-based IESG datatracker
134+
in Python, using the Django framework. It comprised about 8000 lines of
135+
Python code, and 6000 lines of template code. The work was done as a
136+
skunkworks project by Bill Fenner and Henrik Levkowetz from mid-April
137+
to mid-May 2007, and continued as an official project from then on. The
138+
aim was to eliminate numerous SQL injection insecurities in the current
139+
code, and also provide a better framework on which to build future enhancements.
140+
During the most intensive period, Bill and Henrik worked 10 hours per day
141+
to get all public pages ported and released. The release was deployed
142+
in the early hours of 28 June 2007, and nobody noticed the change :-))
