Managana is a free cross-plataform software for digital publication. Created by the Ciclope atelier, based on imagination as interface, it allows the creation and maintenance of communities that share interactive content on the web, tablets, smartphones and exhibits. Each community has interactive streams composed of clusters of audiovisual, photos, text and external feeds. Managana mixes and sequences playlists that can be created, displayed, and animated in the software itself.

This package comes will the source code for all Managana applications: the web player, the editor, the mobile application, the remote control, the showtime and the app wizard. The code is presented as FlashDevelop projects (www.flashdevelop.org) but you ca easily use the IDE of your choice. Managana uses the Ciclope AS3 classes, provided as a part of this packages - just add it to your source path.

There are some other free libraries that are needed for building Managana.

* Tweener (http://code.google.com/p/tweener/): used for all Managana softwares. Just download and add to your source path.

* AIRKinect from AS3Nui (http://www.as3nui.com/): used for the showtime application. Download the library package, unpack it and follow these instructions:
1. save the "airkinect-2-core-openni.ane" at the "Showtime>extension>distro" folder
2. rename the "airkinect-2-core-openni.ane" file as "airkinect-2-core-openni.zip", unpack it and save its contents into the "Showtime>extension>airkinect-2-core-openni.ane" folder (that's right, the folder name have the ".ane" extension).
3. add the AS3 AIRKinect libraries (airkinect-2-core.swc) to you source path

* LeapMotionAS3 from logotype (https://github.com/logotype/LeapMotionAS3): used to interact with the Leap Motion Controller device.

The editor, showtime and appwizard sofwares can be easily translated using the "language.properties" and "error.properties" located at the "locale" folder of each project. The Remote software has a "language.xml" file at the bin folder with all text. You may add aditional languages by adding "_lang" to the file, like the "language_pt.xml" already found there, and the mobile device will select one base on system default language.

The showtime and appwizard softwares must be build as a system-native applications instead of a generic AIR app. At both applications project folders you'll find a "PackagerNative.bat" file with build instructions for that. Notice that the appwizard can only be build for Windows systems.

Some softwares, like the web player, comes with a configuration xml file at the bin folder. The contents of these files are self-explanatory and must be adjusted to meet your system.

The "FontAsset" project comes with the code for creating Managana-compatible (swf) external fonts for use at the web player, the editor and the showtime.

All server-side code is created with PHP. The scripts come inside the Managana-#-#-#.zip file, the main software installation, bundled with this source package.

All AIR applications IDs (app player, remote control, showtime and the appwizard) must be changed for you to use your own.
