Authors

PolyBookExchange has been developped by Maximilien Cuony .

This version is adapted from a previous django version made in 2010, who was made from the original version, developped in Java (in 2007?), by Loïc Etienne et Aristidis Papaioannou.

Assumtions

The module can be used in any django project, but some additionnal work may be needed:

• The system assume all users have a get_sciper() method, returing an unique ID for the current user. The system will use the EPFL's LDAP and the sciper to make queries for user's details.
