[Sorry, if you get this mail twice - I suspect it didn’t get through the first two times...]
Hi, I’m a new user of Invenio, trying to set it up for a small digital library project. I’m the IT/Webdesign guy, having experience with Python, esp. Django, and hosting it, rest of the team will provide translations, media and metadata. The system will get fed only by a few admins, our users won’t have an user account and will just search and read. After some dependency struggles I got my test installation running on a Debian Squeeze VPS and my Laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (I'll check my notes against the official Howto and provide an update, if you care.) Now, I got some questions on how to proceed - I’m missing "Setup" documentation between "Installation" and "Administration". * How do I get rid of the demo data? Should I just delete the database and install anew or is there a better way? * I’ll get my metadata in Excel files. As far as I understand BibConvert docs, there seems no way to process CSV files directly. Is that right or can you hint me on a sample? Otherwise I’d write some Python script to convert our tables to MARC XML - or would you go via some other text format to convert via BibConvert? * I guess I still don’t understand some basic concepts of Invenio, e.g. what modules and stuff I must set up all in all - I was playing with WebSubmit and trying to set up all the fields that we need, but since we’ll batch upload, I don’t know if that makes sense at all. So, if we got MARC XML (via BibConvert or my own script), do I need to setup any field mappings or the like? Thanks in advance for your help! More questions to come...
