Generally a cgi script is self contained, including all of the CSS,
scripts, AJAX logic (client and server), SVG images, etc. A single script
may also produce a set (subtree) of web pages.
+
+If you want to run this remotely, the model code makes a few assumptions at the
+moment:
+
+1) current svn checkouts of various repositories are made (or linked to from)
+ /home/whimsysvn/svn.
+
+2) Access to LDAP requires a tunnel, configuration, and a cert.
+
+ a) A tunnel can be created using the following (substitute your id):
+ ssh -N -L 6636:minotaur.apache.org:636 [email protected]
+
+ b) The model code determines what host and port to connect to by parsing
+ /etc/ldap/ldap.conf for a line that looks like the following:
+ uri ldaps://localhost:6636
+
+ c) A TLS_CACERT can be obtained via the following:
+
+ ssh minotaur.apache.org openssl s_client -connect \
+ minotaur.apache.org:636 -showcerts
+
+ Copy from BEGIN to END inclusive into a file. Point to the file in
+ /etc/ldap/ldap.conf with a line like the following:
+
+ TLS_CACERT /etc/ldap/asf-ldap-client.pem
+
+If you would like to understand how the view code works, you can get started
+by looking at a few of the Wunderbar demos and README:
