Ben, On acronyms: It's a bad habit, I know. But, like an old dog learning to sit, I'm past changing and old persons have their ways, you know -- like feeding the local Oxyurinae.
On "yes, it's described in the wiki.": I had to digg, but I stand corrected at http://simile.mit.edu/wiki2/Simile_Testing_Server On the rest: The message is pretty clear. As a n00b, I think I'll stick to getting LW-SB running on my machines, for now. But, I'm not too happy about Javascript, though. Ever seen Ruby on Rails, probably very neat in multicode-dependable projects as those of the SDT -- er, The SIMILE Project and its members and/of The MIT digital libraries group. // Patrik -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Ben Hyde Skickat: tisdag den 3 oktober 2006 17:01 Till: General List Ämne: Re: ::: Installing Semantic Bank -> Longwell + MSIE: Is it theMITLibraries-demo or is it me?

Possibly, my desire was to pass on an invitation to discussion of how open source QA processes compare and contrast to commercial ones. > + The high-brow version: Do SDT-end-user trials, based on these > "resources > and methods", indicate that a MSIE 6-browser, running on a WXP-OS, > presents all of the publicly available LW/SB-demo's correctly to the > end-user? I have no idea what SDT-end-user means, but I think the answer is nope. We don't know that; at least not in a formal sense. Thanks for doing some of that testing. > + The blunt version: Are you guys running a boot-camped Mac OS X or a > Parallels Workstation for Intel Macs-install, to test WXP and MSIE 6? yes, it's described in the wiki. You wouldn't happen to know an easy way to do lite weight port forwarding in mac os x client in a manner that will survive reboots and not create a security issue. In the meanwhile everybody has access to assorted platforms. > About "huh?": I use an neat back-office solution when loading RDF's > into SB 2.1.x.

Did i mention we don't "think in those terms?" But sure and I've got near neighbors here who use it that way. This project doesn't though. Because we share our Nagios installation with those folks it's not public, which is a bummer. If you'd like to gin up some nagios plug-ins to monitor some of the SIMILE demos and web sites and submit them I'd be surprised if we didn't add them to our Nagios setup. We'd be extra double appreciative of tests that do good coverage of javascript rich examples, using selenium preferably. > // Patrik thanks for helping. - ben > > > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:general- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] För Ben Hyde > Skickat: tisdag den 3 oktober 2006 13:53 > Till: General List > Ämne: Re: :: Installing Semantic Bank -> Longwell + MSIE: Is it the > MITLibraries-demo or is it me? > > On Oct 2, 2006, at 9:47 PM, NNTP wrote: >> Ryan, >> >> an end-user issue -- as always: Before even approaching an install of >> Longwell 2.4 on a MS Windows XP-machine, I thought I'd run the >> available demos in a fully updated Windows XPP and MSIE 6.
