[Arches] Re: Using Search in Arches V3

[Dennis Wuthrich]

Lucy,

Arches should be able to return the site name even if you don't include the 
leading apostrophe.  As for special characters, Arches uses UTF-8 encoding, 
so it should be able to process characters on your keyboard.

Lucy,

Arches 3 has the same basic system dependencies as v2.  As for Windows vs. 
Linux, this is a question for your system administrator.  If you don't have 
a sys admin, you can find plenty of information about the pros/cons of each 
OS on the web.

[Arches] Using Search in Arches V3

[Lucy FJ]

I have a question about using the search function in Release 3, which may 
be daft but I just wanted to check. 
I understand from the Information Session in Cyprus in November that the 
search function is going to be as similar to Google as possible. Does this 
mean, for example that if I enter the resource site name * Abu Hawr *in the 
search field it will pick up the site with the primary name* 'Abu Hawr 
(with the apostrophe at the beginning,) *or would we need to add a resource 
alternative name *Abu Hawr. *

Also have our database initially into Excel which enables us to input 
special characters which are not on a regular keyboard. When inputting into 
Arches, presumably we can only copy and paste these names unless we have 
the appropriate keyboard or will the new UI enable special characters to be 
input? 

Thank you.

[Arches] Re: Arches Version 3 Release Date

[Lucy FJ]

Thank you very much, Dennis and Alison. 

We are now considering preparing our server for installing Arches on it. 
The Installation manual for Release 2 gives the system dependencies and 
requirements for installing it. Are these dependencies and requirements the 
same for Release 3? 

Arches can be installed on Linus or Windows. Can you say which is a better 
environment? 

Thank you very much, 
Lucy

[Arches] Re: Signing in

[Edmund Lee]

Ah, yes - that look like an extraordinary site Chaitanya, thanks for 
mentioning it. *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konark_Sun_Temple* 

 
Anyone else got favourite sites they would like to share? Maybe we should 
have an installation of Arches 3 somewhere just to record an inventory of 
'Favourite sites of the Arches progect group' for use in demonstrations?
