Hi Adam thanks for posting here, and welcome to the Arches project community! I’m sure you will find here all the expertise you need to advise you on installation and conversion of Arches and your existing data, so do ask review the existing forum posts and start new threads if you need to.
The option to develop a new resource type for graves sounds good – I’ll leave it to the more technically minded colleagues on the group to advise further. I just Googled the American Cemetery – it does indeed look a peaceful place.

The project won't begin until this fall, hopefully by October, but I'm really looking forward to carrying out this operation. The heritage area already has a local resource file geodatabase (ESRI-style) that was commissioned a few years ago, but it really isn't very accessible. Therefore, the built-in web front-end that Arches provides is very appealing to the parties involved. So, the project will really be an installation and conversion endeavor. I'm very interested to see what comes out of the SOC, as the top priority projects are all pieces that foresee as very useful to me, and the larger success of Arches. I expect to do a test install with the standard resource types, but am really interested in the ability to customize and create new resource types (forgive me, I'm still working on the Arches lingo). Specifically, one of the most important cultural resource categories down here are graves, and I will be incorporating at least one full cemetery. A resource type specifically for graves is something I'm very interested in developing for my installation. I have experience with Python, mostly in an ESRI setting, so I also look forward to diving into the source code... >From my window I'd be able (were it light outside) to see the American >Cemetery, which is generally billed as the oldest cemetery in the Louisiana >Purchase. Many French epitaphs, a few revolutionary war veterans, and >overall, a beautifully peaceful place for a walk. Cheers!

This online group was initially set up for the project team, and has just recently been opened up as the public, so some of us haven't met before. How about we all share a bit of background, just like we would if we were meeting in the real world? If that sounds good to you, reply to this thread and share with the group some or all of the following: * what is your interest in Arches? * where in the world are you working? and, just to make it a bit more fun, * what can you see out of the window? Is there any heritage in your view? I look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better! Ed -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com<mailto:archesproject@googlegroups.com>.
