- with openacS?
- 12:54:30 [ola]

- 12:54:54 [ola]
- how is it going with OACS 3.x?
- 12:55:38 [miguel]
- fine
- 12:55:44 [miguel]
- i finished the pset 1
- 12:55:50 [miguel]
- and I have been changing
- 12:56:06 [miguel]
- to adjust it to OpenACS and PostgreSQL
- 12:56:15 [miguel]
- also i copied my solutions
- 12:56:20 [miguel]
- to a different file
- 12:56:21 [ola]
- good to hear. will there be a HOWTO?
- 12:56:28 [ola]
- :-)
- 12:56:38 [miguel]
- it could be
- 12:56:55 [miguel]
- I would like to contact with someone over here who would be interested in that
- 12:57:09 [miguel]
- i checked the docs in infogettable
- 12:57:31 [miguel]
- and as far as I have seen what you taught me about how to install OpenACS
- 12:57:41 [miguel]
- and that docs dont differ too much
- 12:58:26 [ola]
- almost nothing... just some things I wnted to clarify for myself.
- 12:59:10 [ola]
- (compared to original OACS docs)
- 12:59:19 [miguel]
- well
- 12:59:28 [miguel]
- i think your docs are much more clear
- 12:59:43 [miguel]
- right now i cant remember if you say something like
- 12:59:52 [miguel]
- you have to change the pg passwd
- 12:59:54 [miguel]
- for ""
- 13:00:14 [miguel]
- if you want i can send you over the logs that I stored of your on-line help
- 13:01:01 [ola]
- I dont think I do. sure send 'em over...
- 13:02:39 [ola]
- heh. I can't write the "at" sign...
- 13:02:47 [miguel]
- what?
- 13:02:52 [ola]
- rockola_at_mail.com
- 13:03:10 [miguel]
- i am trying to send you it by DCC
- 13:03:11 [ola]
- oh. you sent via irc?
- 13:03:16 [miguel]

- 13:03:45 [miguel]
- dont you have any IRC client?
- 13:04:06 [ola]
- I'm typing on one now;-)
- 13:04:28 [ola]
- but I don know many of the commands in epic4...
- 13:04:29 [miguel]
- so i guess you must be able to accept
- 13:04:37 [miguel]

- 13:04:45 [ola]
- nope.
- 13:04:47 [miguel]

- xchat
- 13:05:28 [miguel]

- 13:08:53 [ola]

- 13:08:53 [miguel]
- does it work?
- 13:09:05 [ola]
- nope
- 13:11:13 [miguel]

- 13:11:17 [miguel]
- or something like thta
- 13:11:41 [miguel]

- 13:12:18 [miguel]

- 13:16:49 [miguel]
- happy new year markd2
- 13:17:07 [markd2]
- thanks!
- 13:17:12 [miguel]
- np
- 13:17:30 [miguel]
- the infogettable.net web site is down
- 13:17:34 [ola]
- very nice. now /help works in my epic4.
- 13:18:07 [ola]
- miguel: I know. I want to rest my ears..:-))
- 13:18:21 [miguel]
- ok
- 13:18:33 [miguel]
- its your home server?
- 13:18:39 [ola]
- yup.
- 13:18:45 [miguel]
- hehehe
- 13:19:08 [miguel]
- i was just trying to configure my home server too, in salamanca where i am from
- 13:19:15 [ola]
- in a couple of weeks I intend to bring it up permanently (more or less)
- 13:19:21 [miguel]
- by the way roberto mello suggested me to change to OACS 4.x
- 13:19:32 [miguel]
- how is your business going?
- 13:19:58 [ola]
- haven't started yet.
- 13:20:36 [ola]
- I will wait for OACS4 is released properly
- 13:20:55 [ola]
- s/for/until
- 13:22:37 [ola]
- I too think you should switch to OACS4. It's very cool.
- 13:23:03 [miguel]
- are you working with both?
- 13:24:28 [ola]
- well, I have more or less stopped to think about 3.x, but I do have a site that runs on 3.x.
- 13:24:52 [miguel]
- ok
- 13:25:06 [miguel]
- the switch as roberto told me its a bit difficult
- 13:25:27 [ola]
- what's stopping you fron working on 4.x?
- 13:26:03 [ola]
- have you got working sites on 3.x?
- 13:27:39 [miguel]
- no, not yet
- 13:27:44 [miguel]
- i just using 3.x
- 13:27:49 [miguel]
- for doing the problem set 1
- 13:27:57 [miguel]
- which doesnt make any difference actually
- 13:28:15 [miguel]
- its now that I have to get into the toolkit in pset 2
- 13:28:37 [miguel]
- thats when roberto told me that I should get into 4.x
- 13:29:04 [miguel]
- but my coordinator thinks that they are convered with 4.x because they are using something similar ACS 4.x
- 13:29:52 [miguel]
- and he thinks that if i use 3.x if they need to port something to 4.x i would be helpful
- 13:32:41 [ola]
- well, all development is concentrated on OACS4.x - not ACS4. but OACS3.x pretty much just works..
- 13:33:15 [miguel]
- ACS with still be under development by the Oracle guys?
- 13:35:40 [ola]
- I don't think so. OACS4 supports Oracle and has won over most, if not all of the Tcl community...
- 13:37:43 [miguel]
- ok
- 13:37:59 [ola]
- my uneducated guess is that not many people will use ACS4 after OACS4 is released, which may be in a couple of mounts.
- 13:38:06 [miguel]
- who do you think i should contact with to offer the pset 1 modified for PG?
- 13:38:41 [miguel]
- ok good by that time i will be done with my finals
- 13:39:56 [miguel]
- maybe you want some help to work on your docs
- 13:39:59 [miguel]
- if so let me now
- 13:40:23 [miguel]
- i would like to collaborate with you guys, specially with you ola, you helped me a lot in my beginnings
- 13:44:04 [ola]
- Roberto, I think.
- 13:45:18 [ola]
- :-)
- 13:45:23 [ola]
- I'm not really working on them. I mainly made them to get a chance to try out DocBook;-)
- 13:46:06 [ola]
- ok. np.
- 13:46:06 [miguel]
- DocBook?
- 13:46:29 [markd2]
- a set of xml/html-like markup tags
- 13:46:44 [miguel]
- never heard about it
- 13:46:55 [markd2]
- and some accompanying programs to take tagged text and turn it into other formats (specifically html)
- 13:47:19 [ola]
- most linuxdoc HOWTOS are converted to HTML using DocBook...
- 13:47:32 [markd2]
- http://www.docbook.org/
- 13:47:33 [chump]
- A: http://www.docbook.org/ from markd2
- 13:47:41 [ola]
- and, of course, Robertos docs!
- 13:47:47 [markd2]
- A:| DocBook.org - home page of the O'Reilly DocBook book
- 13:47:47 [chump]
- titled item A
- 13:48:11 [miguel]
- ok ill check it out
- 13:48:19 [markd2]
- the docbook book is a couple of short chapters of intro, and then a lot of reference on specific tags
- 13:48:54 [miguel]
- thanks markd
- 13:49:34 [miguel]
- ok go for lunch
- 13:49:41 [miguel]
- see you later guys
- 13:49:52 [ola]
- later miguel.

- you on debian?
- 14:43:14 [miguel]
- no, red hat
- 14:43:16 [miguel]
- ;)
- 14:43:19 [miguel]
- you use debian right?
- 14:44:10 [ola]
- trying to, yes.
- 14:44:21 [miguel]
- ;)
- 14:44:31 [miguel]
- i started with RH because i had more docs
- 14:44:40 [miguel]
- but now i am considering move to Debian
- 14:45:47 [ola]
- RH is alot easier to install and have working for non-english languages it appears...
- 14:46:01 [miguel]
- yes it does
- 14:47:26 [ola]
- the RH installer even has a software RAID conf option. I like that.
- 14:49:12 [miguel]
- yes, it has it since version 7.2
- 14:49:18 [miguel]
- thats very good
- 14:49:28 [miguel]
- anyway debian has a transactional file system
- 14:49:34 [miguel]
- raiser or something like that
- 14:49:51 [miguel]
- i dont know if there is something similar in RH, do you?
- 14:50:22 [ola]
- I think RH has that too (not sure)
- 14:50:38 [ola]
- ext3 at least...
- 14:51:23 [miguel]
- ive got to check it out.
- 14:51:40 [ola]
- what? debian?
- 14:51:44 [miguel]
- so what are you doing now? preparing to start out with your new company
- 14:51:59 [miguel]
- no, ive got to check if there is something similar in RH
- 14:52:02 [miguel]
- do you use debian?
- 14:52:08 [miguel]
- not RH?
- 14:53:30 [ola]
- I use RH but just switched to debian a couple days ago and I think I like it, so I'll probably change to it. ;-)
- 14:54:32 [ola]
- I have started to write on the marketing that will be on our homepage, and greating logs and suck:-)
- 14:54:45 [ola]
- s/greating logs and suck:-)
- 14:55:00 [ola]
- sorry
- 14:55:27 [ola]
- s/greating/creating
- 14:55:28 [miguel]
- what are you going to do exactly in your co?
- 14:57:33 [ola]
- basicly offer online communities to organizations in our neighborhood.
- 14:58:13 [miguel]
- do you think that there is a market for it?
- 14:58:18 [miguel]
- will you install intranets?
- 14:58:47 [ola]
- I dunno yet. but I hope ther is:-)
- 15:00:12 [ola]
- intranets seem like a good idea.
- 15:00:57 [miguel]
- yes they are
- 15:01:17 [miguel]
- i think openacs adjust quite well to many services you can give to customers
- 15:03:59 [miguel]
- one question, to load the datamodel of openacs i have to use nsadmin right? i am installing OACS at home and i dont have the docs right now here
- 15:04:13 [ola]
- one small problem might be the current lack of internationalization, I'm afraid.
- 15:04:43 [ola]
- miguel, yes
- 15:06:23 [miguel]
- you mean internationalization of OACS?
- 15:07:00 [miguel]
- AFAIK i think there is a guy of MIT or something like that in Germany working on the internationalization of
- 15:07:02 [miguel]
- OACS
- 15:07:42 [miguel]
- I think there must be some kind of organization of how to do it, that way will be easier to change for the different languages
- 15:07:48 [miguel]
- here in europe we have a few ;)
- 15:09:10 [til]
- there is the acs-lang package for different languages ... but that is far from being finished. hi btw ;-)
- 15:10:25 [miguel]
- but thats for ACS or OACS?
- 15:10:34 [ola]
- hi til! just what I was gonna say;-)
- 15:11:08 [til]
- hehe, faster :-) ... it's for (o)acs 4x
- 15:12:22 [til]
- yesterday i stumbled over this site: www.xtender.com - i dont know what version of acs it is based on, but it looks like they did a good job on i18n
- 15:12:48 [ola]
- I think it will require all packages to be modified to some extent, though, to make it work well...
- 15:13:11 [miguel]
- i18n=internationalization?
- 15:13:49 [til]
- miguel: yes - i, the 18 characters in between, n
- 15:14:27 [miguel]
- ok
- 15:14:41 [miguel]
- i checking that web site
- 15:16:39 [miguel]
- wow
- 15:16:42 [miguel]
- looks very good
- 15:17:16 [til]
- typing /doc/ in the url will give you a hint on the version that it is running on
- 15:17:29 [ola]
- til: nice site. the å, ä and ö on the Swedish site laks their dots though..
- 15:17:42 [ola]
- s/laks/lacks
- 15:19:38 [miguel]
- seems to be version 3.3
- 15:20:01 [til]
- strange - german umlauts seem to work ok. they are displayed correctly in the browser, but when doing a view source they appear as those ugly two characters that everybody fears who has ever struggled with aolserver and charsets
- 15:23:01 [til]
- ah - i think they are sending utf-8 to the client. nice
- 15:23:39 [ola]
- view source in mozilla 0.9.7 displays the german characters right.
- 15:24:24 [til]
- ok, it's because i did view source in opera and that sends it to an external program that does not understand utf-8 (wildly guessing, that is)
- 15:24:33 [ola]
- ahh.
- 15:25:46 [til]
- still there are problems, e.g. "Sie haben 13 days left" - the first part of this sentence is in german, the second in english ;-)
- 15:25:57 [ola]
- I cant really determine what ACS they've used. it's ACS3 right?
- 15:26:37 [til]
- acs3 I'd think, too. not openacs3 - just judging from the /doc page
- 15:26:55 [ola]
- right.
- 15:27:28 [til]
- do you know what the latest acs3x from ad was?
- 15:27:44 [ola]
- 3.4, I think.
- 15:28:46 [til]
- ok
- 15:32:39 [miguel]
- yes it seems acs

- this is haider-land now unfortunately ...
- 15:37:54 [til]
- thank god i'm in vienna
- 15:38:36 [ola]
- argh! the left ALT key must be activated so I can use emacs.:-)
- 15:38:47 [ola]
- til: is he gaining popularity?
- 15:38:56 [til]
- not with me ;-)
- 15:39:03 [ola]
- heh. col.
- 15:39:11 [ola]
- cool
- 15:40:16 [miguel]
- hehe we all heard about him.that girl was not specially proud of living now there
- 15:52:40 [ola]
- til: a similar political party called "new democracy" came up in sweden about 10 years ago. I think they got approximately 10-15% of the votes before they were being thrown of the boat two years later... scary...
- 15:55:54 [til]
- scary indeed ... one could hope that haider destroys himself one day with all the stupidities he produces. but somehow he manages to survive

- heh
- 16:05:10 [miguel]
- what ive heard is that the funny thing there were journalist asking around the people from that province to see what the voters of haider think and nobody recognized that they voted for him
- 16:09:44 [til]
- depends on the way the journalists ask, propably
- 16:10:37 [til]
- if they go: "hey, are you one of those dumb idiots that voted for haider?" they wont find a lot ;-)
- 16:11:51 [miguel]
- LOL
- 16:12:53 [miguel]
- what i dont undestand is why they complain there are too many foreigners in austria. There are actually much more in Germany or France.
- 16:16:41 [til]

- Hi Miguel
- 17:18:47 [rbm]
- Do you have the pset 1 modified for PG? I'm looking for someone to "port" the psets from ACS 4 to OACS
- 17:20:36 [miguel]
- yes
- 17:20:40 [miguel]
- who told you about it? ola?
- 17:21:43 [rbm]
- No. I read it in the backlog
- 17:21:48 [miguel]
- i also have made a copy with the solutions
- 17:21:52 [miguel]
- hehehe
- 17:21:54 [miguel]
- ok
- 17:22:12 [miguel]
- but of course they are my solutions, probably are not the best
- 17:22:58 [miguel]
- I tried to do my best, although I am a c/c++ programmer not a tcl programmer, but I tried to optimize as much as I could
- 17:24:33 [rbm]
- Is it on a publicly-accessible site?
- 17:25:11 [miguel]
- no, not yet
- 17:25:12 [miguel]
- sorry
- 17:25:40 [miguel]
- you meant my pset 1? or the docs?

- Hello everyone.
- 17:26:58 [miguel]
- hello dave
- 17:27:13 [rbm]
- 5 new mail, 4 spam
- 17:27:24 [rbm]
- miguel: Your pset1
- 17:27:28 [miguel]
- ok
- 17:27:30 [miguel]
- not yet
- 17:27:53 [miguel]
- anyway I have to talk with my coordinator
- 17:28:07 [miguel]
- to see whats going on
- 17:28:23 [miguel]
- Depending on things I will give you those psets
- 17:28:28 [miguel]
- through his group
- 17:28:33 [miguel]
- or as an individual
- 17:32:12 [davb]
- brb
- 17:32:13 [davb]
- davb has quit ("Client Exiting")
- 17:38:19 [miguel]
- anyway i will let you know as soon as i know whats going on
- 17:38:36 [miguel]
- also i have changed a few files of psbasics.tar
- 17:38:48 [miguel]
- for instance the ctl control files for oracle
- 17:38:52 [miguel]
- to be loaded with PG
- 17:44:03 [rbm]
- We need to maintain both the Oracle and Postgres version, but you could do only one of them.
- 17:48:00 [miguel]
- well i guess that there were not so many things to change for the oracle version
- 17:48:24 [talli]
- hey rbm
- 17:48:44 [miguel]
- well its up to you, i could clean out those files, and just have the PG ones
- 17:48:55 [miguel]
- or have both altogether.
- 17:49:01 [miguel]
- right now i have to do some cleanup
- 17:49:06 [talli]
- for some of our clients we're committed to providing them with a good load of documentation
- 17:49:17 [miguel]
- i have solutions, changes of original psbasics altogehter
- 17:49:18 [talli]
- we may be able to get the psets ported out of that
- 17:49:59 [miguel]
- i think it should be better to have some kind of psbasics-ora.tar and psbasics-pg.tar
- 17:50:02 [miguel]
- dont you think so?
- 17:50:13 [rbm]
- hey tally
- 17:50:16 [rbm]
- s/tally/talli/
- 17:50:16 [miguel]
- also psbasics-pg-solutions.tar
- 17:50:30 [miguel]
- also psbasics-ora-solutions.tar
- 17:50:41 [rbm]
- miguel: My plan is to have the psets as part of a Beginners' manual
- 17:51:05 [miguel]
- yes, i think thats a good idea
- 17:51:13 [miguel]
- my coordinator thought about to write such a book
- 17:51:34 [talli]
- rbm: the person that is writing some of the beginner's stuff, david geilhufe, is working for me
- 17:51:35 [miguel]
- but the first step would be to have psets adjusted for PG
- 17:52:05 [miguel]
- I have heard that is one MIT guy in Germany doing such thing. Am I wrong?
- 17:52:19 [talli]
- can anyone see what i'm writing?
- 17:53:29 [rbm]
- talli: I sent mail to David and Tapiwa. Waiting for their reply.
- 17:53:48 [miguel]
- yes i can talli
- 17:54:05 [talli]
- well, i can try and get some of the psets into the project we're doing and hopefully release them
- 17:54:26 [talli]
- at least we'll have some beginner documentation that we'll be able to provide, or as much as our clients will allow us
- 17:54:32 [miguel]
- these people are doing those psets for PG?
- 17:54:51 [talli]
- btw, speak with todd gillespie. he ported the psets for v3.x to PG
- 17:55:00 [talli]
- or at least had something available in that form
- 17:55:13 [miguel]
- how can I contact him?
- 17:55:23 [miguel]
- so i guess my psets are not needed right?
- 17:55:32 [talli]
- they are needed
- 17:56:01 [miguel]
- havent you just told me that there is a guy who already have written them? sorry i am bit confused ;)
- 17:56:42 [talli]
- he wrote them for version 3.x
- 17:56:49 [miguel]
- OACS?
- 17:56:58 [miguel]
- i am using OACS 3.2.5
- 17:57:08 [talli]
- oh.
- 17:57:11 [talli]
- hold on
- 17:57:18 [miguel]
- ok

- 17:58:22 [chump]
- B: http://www.ma.utexas.edu/~toddg/docs/psets/ from talli
- 17:58:40 [rbm]
- miguel: Oh. I thought you had ported the 4.x psets
- 17:58:46 [talli]
- beattiek: Todd Gillespie's ported problem sets. i don't know how good or complete they are
- 17:59:09 [miguel]
- i did psets1
- 17:59:16 [miguel]
- with OACS 3.2.5
- 17:59:22 [miguel]
- then i talked with you roberto
- 17:59:29 [miguel]
- and you told me to move to OACS 4.x
- 17:59:36 [miguel]
- my coordinator told me not to do it
- 17:59:51 [miguel]
- I havent started yet with the pset2
- 18:00:03 [miguel]
- which is the one who gets into the toolkit
- 18:00:22 [miguel]
- s/who/which
- 18:01:05 [miguel]
- so i guess my psets are not needed?
- 18:01:21 [rbm]
- miguel: I'm sure we can use them somehow, for the 3.x version
- 18:02:45 [miguel]
- ok
- 18:02:54 [miguel]
- i will check that web site, thanks for the link
- 18:03:03 [miguel]
- i didnt know that someone ported the psets for version 3
- 18:03:07 [miguel]
- for PG
- 18:03:33 [miguel]
- my coordinator planned to write a book for begginers
- 18:03:39 [miguel]
- some kind of openacs for nerds
- 18:04:01 [miguel]
- but i see someone already started such a thing
- 18:04:27 [miguel]
- ok guys i got to go
- 18:04:42 [miguel]
- if you want to contact me you can email me at iafmgc@unileon.es
- 18:04:55 [miguel]
- and tell me how the things are
- 18:05:00 [miguel]
- bye guys
- 18:05:04 [miguel]

- 23:12:51 [jim]
- you happen to be playing w/ oacs 4?
- 23:12:57 [davb]
- yes.
- 23:13:11 [jim]
- ok... cool...
- 23:13:40 [jim]
- umm, using aolserver or apache+mod_aolserver/
- 23:13:41 [jim]
- ?
- 23:13:46 [davb]
- aolserver.
- 23:14:11 [jim]
- got source from aD?
- 23:14:22 [davb]
- aolserver? yes. 3.3+ad13
- 23:14:34 [jim]
- ok...
- 23:16:16 [jim]
- looks like I'm running 3.2
- 23:16:44 [davb]
- There is a memory leak in 3.2 using Tcl8 I believe. Although I used it for a long time with no trouble.
- 23:17:23 [jim]
- is oacs using tcl8?
- 23:17:46 [davb]
- yes. nsd8x, should be symlinked to nsd
- 23:18:01 [jim]
- ahh, right...
- 23:20:25 [jim]
- beginning to remember all that stuff from the oracle installs :)
- 23:20:36 [davb]
- ah oracle, fun :)
- 23:28:25 [jim]
- I'm looking at sf.net/projects/aolserver and browsing their cvs... no tarballs there
- 23:28:37 [davb]
- interesting.
- 23:29:47 [jim]
- but I could check out nsd_v3_r3 (or nsd_v3_r3_p1)
- 23:32:38 [davb]
- I think you can download from aolserver.com
- 23:33:39 [jim]
- probably so... got it from aD
- 23:34:39 [jim]
- I just think it might be possible to offer to people another route for getting aolserver of the appropriate version and with appropriate patches
- 23:35:13 [jim]
- but not a big deal; I seem to still be logged into ad.com :)
- 23:39:35 [davb]
- I think it will be available at openacs.org
