Terry Hancock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: Narya Forum and Project Incubator System name: narya Type: non-GNU Description: The "Narya" Project is a web-application-based Forum and Project-Incubator which will (eventually) combine discussion, workflow and content management, collaborative development, full-text document and data archive, brick-and-mortar library integration, collective financing, reverse auction, catalog sales, and manufacturing and service resource planning into an open free-market model based on the principles of open-source development. Its central design paradigm is a hierarchical topic tree with multiple topic views derived from content and integrated applications. More detail is available at http://www.narya.net and links thereunder. The last published source code may be found in the Sourceforge project CVS for http://sourceforge.net/projects/spacelift . I am currently in the middle of a massive reorganization of the code, and have not uploaded the result. However, this does not involve substantial new code or dependencies so much as a reorganization of existing code. Basically, I'm looking to start over with the CVS, since the directory structure is now quite different from the original. I wrote a paper for presentation at the 2003 International Space Development Conference in San Jose, which is included in (gv-compatible) PDF at http://www.anansispaceworks.com/papers_html which describes the current design changes. Other Software Required: Python 2.1+ Zope 2.5.1+ VarImage 2.3+ (a Zope Product I maintain) Various python libraries: stripogram, pystemmer, python imaging library I expect to have components dependent on pythoncad, pyogg, pyvorbis, and several other components. Maybe even Blender at some point. By its nature, Narya will tend to accumulate a lot of dependencies, since it is basically a highly-pluggable framework. Regarding "Java 2" and the clientside, I've written a description of some of the options at http://www.narya.net/client_html . We have a bit of a problem in finding adequate clientside tools to integrate that don't require Swing or other Java 2 features, and I feel I will need help from other people interested in an effective free clientside for more advanced Narya features. But this is certainly an important goal for us. Other Comments: An older version of this project is in the Source Forge CVS for the "spacelift" project, but there have been substantial changes, and the project has grown to the point where it really needs to have its own site. Essentially this is a point where we need a "new start" on the CVS, anyway. Eventually, of course, Narya will be able to host its own project site, but it is not that stable yet (by a long shot!). _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
