[CGUYS] Databases: Open Office Base?
Has anyone used Base, the database program of Open Office? If so, what did you think of it? What happened when you tried to use it? Any other database recommendations? For an acquaintance who's trying to organize a lot of documents to put on a website, I was going to recommend FileMaker Pro, which I've worked with for years and which can produce crash-proof databases. But it's kind of expensive.

Re: [CGUYS] Databases: Open Office Base?
We've tried it. It worked good. But then, so did Zoho, and so does Google Docs. What actually forced us to keep using Office was envelope printing, which I could never quite get right in OO. I've never actually tried to put a bunch of documents online, so I can't speak with any experience. But I don't think Office can do it. If they just want to make a list to be manually copied somewhere, that could be done with virtually any app including notepad. If they're making a website, they should probably work with whatever the site is using (e.g. Wordpress). Actually, now I think about it, I do keep maybe a dozen important company documents online - I just used Dreamweaver to make a list.

Re: [CGUYS] Databases: Open Office Base?
It's like this: I was visiting the offices of a small nonprofit dedicated to promoting civic activism and getting out the vote. One of the staff members gestured towards a filing cabinet and some banker boxes and said, We'd like to get these [documents] organized and have a way to get these out to our field organizers when they want them and when we need to send them. They'd been using fax, U.S. mail, and hand carrying the documents in the past. Right now, most of the documents aren't even in electronic format. They have basic computers, of course, but neither they nor their field organizers can afford the latest electronic bells and whistles (no iPhones, for example). A lot of small nonprofits are like that. So I was trying to offer them a few basic suggestions. FileMaker Pro would be nice for them to use to index their documents, because it's easy to use and, once it's set up properly, it's practically crash- proof. On the other hand, it's expensive. Base is free, but I've never used it (and neither has anybody else I know). Somebody else-- not me--will be doing the work for this nonprofit, but these are very nice people and I wanted to offer them a few signposts. They're really brilliant, politically; they just haven't had the time to get really computer savvy, or the money for the latest computers, webmasters, or IT workers. --Constance Warner On Jun 19, 2009, at 10:49 AM, t.piwowar wrote: On Jun 19, 2009, at 2:15 AM, Constance Warner wrote: For an acquaintance who's trying to organize a lot of documents to put on a website, I was going to recommend FileMaker Pro, which I've worked with for years and which can produce crash-proof databases.

Re: [CGUYS] Databases: Open Office Base?
Okay, so we have a whole honking *file cabinet* full of paper documents that need to be scanned and put online. This is not going to be an easy task. But you're skipping all the way to almost the end of the project and asking about databases. Long before you worry about a db you need to figure out how to scan the stuff. Most commercial scanners will come with some sort of document management app. I think. Monumental task, not for a database app at all.

Re: [CGUYS] Databases: Open Office Base?
Constance, If I were them, I would scan all the docs as PDF files, then index them in a hyperlinked .xls file that serves as the index. It's simple to do, you can throw the whole directory up on a website behind a login and password, and with a reasonable scanner, they can do about a five drawer filecabinet a week. Further, if they choose to, they can bulk OCR them and make each page that's legible searchable. It's cheap and easy and I've done it with OpenOffice. - Original Message - From: Constance Warner cawar...@his.com To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 1:06 PM Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Databases: Open Office Base?

A lot of small nonprofits are like that. This does not look to me like a job for a database. Step 1 would be digitizing all the documents. A huge job. So step zero is identifying a (hopefully small) subset that is most used. These would be scanned to PDF and possibly OCRed by Acrobat for searching. That's what summer interns are made for and this year those are easy to get. So Acrobat would be the big expense. They need to check with Stone Soup to see if they qualify for the non-profit price. The storage schema really depends of what their content looks like. A series of hierarchical folders may suffice. Storage using a tagging file system would probably be the best. There are $25 add-ons for OS X that support this. MS cancelled that promise for Vista. Also need to make sure that backups are up to snuff.

Re: [CGUYS] Databases: Open Office Base?
Thanks for the tip on the Fujitsu scanner--you can get a nice tray- feed scanner for a lot less than when I used a $3,000 Canon tray-feed scanner to to make tiffs for a fax-on-demand service. However, scanning is the EASY part. I've worked on--and supervised-- scanning projects and digital document archives before. A well- thought-out classification system, preferably embodied in an idiot- proof, robust database (planned BEFORE you start scanning) is a must. I say this from sad experience. The last such project I worked on had an Excel spreadsheet (in lieu of a real database) to keep track of the documents, with a vague classification system and minimal data in the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet was kind of an ad- hoc affair, altered whenever the supervisor decided that the project needed improvements. Result: the association members, who were supposed to log into the website to download the documents, couldn't find anything. They complained a lot before they just gave up on using the system entirely. Needless to say, I wasn't supervising THIS project. By contrast, the computerized fax-on-demand service, which I DID supervise: I used a FileMaker Pro database; the paper documents were classified and entered into the database before anything was scanned. I always knew where to find any type or category of document--or any particular title--and the members did too. And as for the nonprofit with the cabinet full of documents to be scanned: Im betting they have friends in other organizations with tray-feed scanners they can use, and interns to run them. These small political nonprofits tend to be cash-poor--which is why I'm hoping that Base will work for them--but they're connection-rich. --Constance Warner The previous system On Jun 19, 2009, at 4:35 PM, Tony B wrote: Okay, so we have a whole honking *file cabinet* full of paper documents that need to be scanned and put online.
