you should have no trouble with pike. more interesting is the question if you have permission to load custom modules, since you say the server is managed by your department, you may not have access to the roxen website administration interface (this is different from the CMS) you can of course run your own server for development (see the video for how) and hand them the module once it is done. (btw: the video explains setting up roxen on linux. if you have windows or mac then the instructions may be slightly different. just ask if you have questions. also, you may want to check that you get the same version of roxen that you are running in your department. for following the workshop, the roxen version makes no difference but for developing your code, having the same version is probably better.) > >this video explains how to get started writing a pike module that can be > >accessed with AJAX. it's very basic, but should be just enough to get > >you started: > >http://societyserver.org/pike-workshops/pike-workshop-1.webm > Thanks.

Will the video capture be accessible on Monday? i doubt it. i'll try to record it, but resources to manage this are limited. btw: the official start is 7pm alaska time, but that includes time for participants to set up and get started. that part is covered by the video. so you may join later in the evening. the end of the workshop is at 2am alaska time. (btw: in europe this is from 5am to noon CET) greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life hackerspace beijing - http://societyserver.org/hackerspace-beijing/ -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net foresight developer realss.com foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin trainer developer societyserver.org Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
