RE: Repository testing

[Anderson, Steven]

Mary,

Awesome that you are using it! Sadly, I'm actually on vacation until tomorrow, but will ask Eben to look over it (or take a look when I get back in town tonight).

In terms of what you are doing, are you just testing the system? Before uploading every single one of your items, that would need to be done on the production server. Once you reach a point that it seems to be working for what you want to do with the system with a few test records, let us know and we can setup an account on the production (public) server.

Additionally, edit functionality for items is a bug I'm still fully fixing. I had hoped to have had it done September 27th before I left on vacation but didn't have it yet complete to make a new release. It should be functional sometime either Thursday or Friday (and I'll email the digitalcommonwealth group with a list of bug fixes and improvements).

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Steven Anderson

Hello Steven and Deb,

I finally got to sit down and enter some photos and I hope you can look at my entries and let me know if I am on the right track. I'm not going to be able to do them in order (numerical) because the information is housed in categories. The reason that one 410 was not listed as published was because I didn't have the dimensions with me. I actually made an error and managed to correct it but I tried to edit one of the other photos (spelling incorrect on one of the people and the date was incorrect), but I couldn't edit. I am really excited to get this underway (finally). Thank you again for your help.

Additionally, once it seems like it has reached a state one might want to add or curate content on the public production server, do let us know.
