<h2>Latest Release</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
The latest release is version 0.5, which offers several improvements. It is
|
||||
architecturally cleaner than 0.4 and uses css stylesheets for a much more
|
||||
attractive appearance. There is a dependency I'm still trying to figure out. If
|
||||
you encounter a bug please let me know as it will help me figure it out.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
See CHANGELOG for the nitty gritty.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>What is ScrollServer?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
ScrollServer is a <a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a> based http server
|
||||
that provides access to a <a href="http://scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net">ScrollKeeper</a>
|
||||
database with any web browser. You can use ScrollServer
|
||||
to browse and search help files that are installed in the ScrollKeeper
|
||||
database on your computer. Someday you will also be able to view online
|
||||
ScrollServer databases.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
ScrollServer is a young project that is still in early development, so many
|
||||
features are not yet implemented. You should find it usable but incomplete.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Please report bugs and request features by filing them on SourceForge, or
|
||||
by writing to the author at
|
||||
<a href="mailto:david@lupercalia.net">david@lupercalia.net</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>SourceForge Site</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
You can download the latest release and post bug reports on the
|
||||
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scrollserver">SourceForge Page</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>CVS</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
I'm not using the SourceForge CVS. ScrollServer is hosted in the
|
||||
<a href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/cvs.html">Linux
|
||||
Documentation Project CVS</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Status</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
ScrollServer is in very early development, but it is already useful. It has
|
||||
been tested on RedHat 7.1 and Debian Woody. Reports of success or failure on
|
||||
other systems greatly appreciated.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
I'm working towards a 1.0 release which will implement basic functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>It must be usable in text browsers but attractive in X.</li>
|
||||
<li>It must Serve all documentation formats supported by ScrollKeeper.</li>
|
||||
<li>It must provide browsing by document title or topic.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In later releases searching should be powerful but easy. It's a classic trade
|
||||
off, but I'm going to try. It will probably mean writing my own DocBook-aware
|
||||
search library.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are more ambitious goals in the long term. Eventally, ScrollServers will
|
||||
be able to talk to one another, and to share information with each other. One
|
||||
ScrollServer will `publish' a document or five hundred, and another will
|
||||
`subscribe' to the `publication'. This is mainly for the benefit of the Linux
|
||||
Documentation Project and others who provide more general Linux information.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Each subscription can be left offsite or cached locally, updating the
|
||||
local ScrollKeeper database. If the local ScrollServer database has a cached
|
||||
copy of the document, it will be used in preference to the online copy.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Eventually a reader might be able to rate a document, and have their comments
|
||||
sent to the publisher (i.e., the other ScrollServer) and also to the author of
|
||||
the document, which can be extracted from the DocBook.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Sound like an interesting project?

<h2>Known Bugs</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
Gnome specific uris such as gnome-help:foo don't work. I and the gnome-doc
|
||||
people are working on a solution. It may just mean work in the xsl stylesheets.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
KDE documents haven't even been looked at yet.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
HTML is cached, but there is no cache management.
