Abstract
========

The purpose of this Google Summer of Code project is to improve Mercurial's
web interface as much as possible without introducing new dependencies.

Current Mercurial web interface is based on gitweb, it provides basic
functionality to interact with Mercurial but it could do much more and look
far more better. I want to give Mercurial web interface fresh look, dynamic
content loading and generally better user experience.

Currently the web interface allows pushing changesets via POST request, I
intend to add possibilities to execute other Mercurial commands like strip,
push, pull, tag etc.

About Me
========
I am Lauri, one of the Estonian open-source community activists. I've
previously participated on Google Summer of Code with Maemo as mentoring
organization. I had my internship at Indifex while working on Transifex,
an open-source translations hub written in Python on top of Django.

I have been Mercurial user for over a year now and it has become my favorite
source code management system. I would like to be involved in a major
open-source project and Mercurial seems to be a good place to start.
