Re: [Arches] Arches virtual machine link does not work

2014-03-20 Thread Joshua Ng
Hi Abhijit,

Are you looking at the Arches v2.0 Installation Guide?

So far I think only the v1.0 installation guide has the express
installation option. The archesv2installationguide.pdf I got from
http://archesproject.org/documentation/ doesn't seem to have the express
installation option anymore. I also cannot find the link that you have
pasted above in either installation guide.

[Arches] Django Suit for Admin UI Improvement

2014-03-10 Thread Joshua Ng
Hi,

For the Admin UI Improvement, I'm just wondering is it alright if we use
something like Django Suit <http://djangosuit.com/>? It will certainly
expedite the improvement.

However, it is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial
3.0 license <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/>, not sure
whether that's something we would want to have in Arches.

Re: [Arches] Arches v2.0 Officially Released

2014-03-07 Thread Joshua Ng
Hi Alexei,

I have just successfully installed Arches v2 via the "Installing Arches on
Linux (Ubuntu 12.04).

However instead of
*source linux_setup.sh*
I did
*source ubuntu_precise_setup.sh*
That's because linux_setup.sh does not exist.

I would have changed the text in the shared dropbox manuscript but the
manuscript file on the shared dropbox is not updated with v2 of the
Installation Guide PDF. So it must have been published from another
instance.

Re: [Arches] Re: Error installing Arches on Linux. Step 3 installing web framework.

2014-03-06 Thread Joshua Ng
Maybe it'll help us to help you if you list down all of the commands you've
entered right before  ./install.sh

Also it's probably a long shot, but I have successfully installed it on
12.04 as suggested in the installation guide. Maybe tried that version and
see whether you still run into the same problem?

2014-03-06 Thread Joshua Ng
Hi Sindhu,

I didn't get the same error. But perhaps you'd want to try
sudo ./install.sh

Also looking into install.py, the install.sh script is supposed to install
the virtual env. So you shouldn't need to install virtualenv before you run
the script.

Hope it helps.

Re: [Arches] Error while installing arches.

Hi Sindhu,

I found this thread in another group.

Try

sudo apt-get install libproj-dev

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/spatialite-users/xlA7D_4vqqw


If the above doesn't work, perhaps the database installation wasn't
complete. The command in the Installation Guide has some whitespace issue.
There's also a repeat postgresql-server-dev-9.2

Try

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential postgresql-9.2
postgresql-server-dev-9\
.2 libxml2-dev libproj-dev libjson0-dev xsltproc docbook-xsl docbook-mathml\
libgdal1-dev postgresql-contrib-9.2 libpq-dev

[Arches] Re: Signing in

2014-03-01 Thread Joshua Ng
Hi everyone,

I'm hailing from Singapore. Currently a Master of Science (Information 
Systems) student at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. I got to 
know about Arches from Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and I intend to apply 
to GSoC 2014. 

I am a self-professed history/archives/heritage geek. I did an internship 
stint at NUS Hollywood Lab & UCLA Hypermedia Studio and worked on the Remapping 
LA<http://remap.ucla.edu/research/cultural-civic-computing/718-remapping-la>: 
Hollywood Place project. Then I did another internship stint at Asian Film 
Archive <http://asianfilmarchive.org/>, mainly web development and 
maintenance. My last project I went on to try to revive the long forgotten 
Eusoff Archives for Eusoff Hall <http://www.eusoff.nus.edu.sg/>, a 
residential college of 50 years. I have always wanted to contribute more in 
the cultural heritage scene. 

So when Arches popped-out from the list of approved mentoring organization, 
I almost jumped out of my chair. Arches seems to be the perfect tool for 
the *Bukit Brown Cemetery <http://www.wmf.org/project/bukit-brown>** 
project that I might be working on with my university professor after my 
Master's dissertation! It is open source too!

I am familiar with *Python* as I'm using pandas to analyse JSON data for my 
dissertation. I would rate my *JavaScript* and *CSS3/HTML5* knowledge as 
intermediate. I went through the *Django* tutorial once some time ago, 
probably need a refresher. 

Looking at the list of suggested ideas <http://archesproject.org/ideas/>, 
it would seem that these are the ones that I think I could handle:-

   1. *User Settings *
   2. *Admin UI Improvements *. 
   3. *Richer CRM Classes for GIS data *looks interesting. 
  1. I was introduced to ontologies and RDF in the Information 
  Architecture and Design class last semester. So I think I'm still 
  quite new to the area. It will be great if there are more information on 
  what exactly are the classes and how would the incorporation processes 
look 
  like?
   

*what can you see out of the window? Is there any heritage in your view?*
As I look out of my window, I see a typically quiet estate as it's Sunday 
morning. Even the demolition work down the street took a break today. As 
Singapore is an island state and land is scarce, the struggle between 
progress and heritage preservation is very real. Case in point, my housing 
estate was built circa 1976 and many people lived and grew up here. Despite 
the significance of it, one whole section of housing units are currently 
being demolished to make way for newer buildings. 

In Singapore, anything more than 20 years old is considered old. My housing 
estate is merely one among many similar projects across the island. The 
most prominent one is the aforementioned *Bukit 
Brown<http://www.wmf.org/project/bukit-brown> (BB), 
a cemetery for pioneering Chinese immigrants tracing back to the 
mid-nineteenth century. It is said to be the largest Chinese cemetery 
outside of China. But that doesn't stop the government from initiating 
plans to bisect BB with a major thoroughfare and repurpose it for housing. 
Exhumations of several thousand graces has already begun in December 2013. 
This issue has garnered international attention and Bukit Brown has just 
got listed as a World Monument Watch 
Site<http://www.wmf.org/project/bukit-brown>
 (2014). As it is unlikely the government will change its mind now, we are 
trying our best to document and preserve as many information about the 
graves and the cemetery. Arches seems to be a perfect fit for this project. 



So yup, I have checked out the arches source code from bitbucket, tested 
the 3GB VM and vagrant is building arches as I type. 

All in all, I am ready to get my hands dirty and have a great time. :D
