[michael-impl] FW: Test release of the complet platform

[Henk M. <Hen...@KB...>]

Hi all,

=20

Nice to find this e-mail by Martin Sevigny in my mailbox this morning.=20

Regarding his promiss to put the source code and extended documentation =
on Sourceforge last Friday: I couldn't find it this morning. Did I look =
in the wrong place, perhaps, Martin?=20

Would be nice to have it soon, to see what needs to be done to integrate =
the website design I'm working on?=20

=20

And there seems to be another rabit coming out of the wizard's hat:=20

In the installation pdf Martin mentions ImageMagick. This OpenSource =
image manipulating package seems to be needed for on the fly resizing of =
example images. But apart from the necessity to put the path of the app =
in the sitemap1.xmap there is not much info. Imagemagick comes in =
various OS-flavours and is available in binaries (UNIX, Mac OSX, Win) =
and in sourcecode for stallation (UNIX, Win). Should I use the =
win-binary or the win-sourcecode distribution?

Has anyone done (trial) installation yet? Does the publication module =
work without this app and without using example thumbnail images? Can =
preprocessed thumbnails of example images be used directly, without this =
app? (I may be mistaken but in the UK site i.e. it looks like thumbnails =
are being resized to even smaller thumbnails) does anyone know what =
format and size images should have? Maybe the original Michael triplet =
(FR, IT, UK) can comment on this?

=20

Are there anymore surprises to be expected, for I think I'll have to do =
some serious explanation to our ICT department again, because another =
standalone app has to be installed? And they are not too happy with me =
coming=20

again with this kind of questions. I've already got some 'bad' =
reputation as it is ;-))

=20

TIA + kind regards

Henk

> Dear all,

>=20

> I've built a test release of the complete platform (production and

> publication module). "test" in the sense that there are some little

> things to improve but it seems to install and work correctly.

>=20

> Tomorrow, all this, and enriched documentation, will be put on

> Sourceforge. Also, as soon as I receive the report from last Monday's

> meeting, I will communication the action plan for the platform until

> July 12th.

>=20

> Please note that all URLs below are temporary. Do not communicate them

> too largely.

>=20

> So first of all, use this new installation documentation:

> http://projets.ajlsm.com/michael/20070607/install_en.pdf

>=20

> The process is not really different than before. In this document, I

> reference three packages (complete platform, publication module only,

> extra libraries for Tomcat 5.5/Java 1.5). You can download them at =
these
