Hello all, ... and welcome in particular to those who have joined the Arches Discussion Forum recently.
This online group was initially set up for the project team, and has just recently been opened up as the public, so some of us haven't met before. How about we all share a bit of background, just like we would if we were meeting in the real world? If that sounds good to you, reply to this thread and share with the group some or all of the following:
- what is your interest in Arches?
and, just to make it a bit more fun,
- where in the world are you working?
- what can you see out of the window? Is there any heritage in your view?
I look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better!

Hello Aditya, Niharika and Krutarth, and let me be the first to welcome to the Arches project group!
You will find here an amazing mix of skill sets – technical specialists such as yourselves, and archaeologists and heritage people who have some enormously interesting datasets to work with from around the world. Do feel free to ask questions about the Arches project here on this list. I believe project participants in the USA are setting up IRC chat functions as well so there will be lots of ways for us to support you.
There’s plenty more information about the types of information archaeologists work with on the project website at http://archesproject.org/heritage-inventories/ and the sorts of heritage inventories the Arches software can support at http://archesproject.org/materials/
With all good wishes
Ed

…and welcome to the group Zeyu as well!
Other group members will be better able to answer your question about APIs.
Hope the weather warms up soon for you. Here in England we just hope for the rain to stop.
All good wishes

Hi Dominic, welcome to the group!
Do read through the messages on the Google Group page http://archesproject.org/forum/ , and have a look at the Ideas page for the project http://archesproject.org/ideas/ . There is also a well established bug tracker in the BitBucket page for the project, and a Road Map for the project overall linked to from http://archesproject.org/development/ .
York is an amazing city – I’m lucky enough to visit quite often as English Heritage has an office there.
All good wishes,
Ed

Hello Prashant, and welcome to Arches! Do please continue to use the group to find out more about the project, to ask questions, and to contact other project members. Theres plenty more on the project website at http://archesproject.org/
I’m sorry to hear that the view from your window isn’t so good. I used to be able to see a fine medieval church, but now there are houses being built in the way…

Welcome Jayanth! It’s great to have so many new members signing in just now. Do please have a look around the Arches Project website http://archesproject.org/ to find out a bit more about the sort of heritage inventory that Arches is designed to support, and do ask any questions you may have by starting a new thread in this discussion group, or contributing to those in progress at http://archesproject.org/forum/
And I’m sorry to hear the view from your window isn’t too great,
Ed

Hello all!
I am Jayanth Koushik. I am a final year Computer Science student from BITS Pilani, India. I found out about the Arches project through GSOC and I am really interested in the 'Import/Export Improvements' project listed on the 'Ideas' page. I do have experience with Python and JSON.
Lots of heritage in India, but I can't see any of it from my window unfortunately...
Jayanth

Welcome to the Arches project forum Utsav!
As well as computer and IT specialists on this group you will find many members such as myself who share your passion for the past, and work in heritage organisations aimed at doing what we can to ensure that the significance for all of us of heritage sites is maintained for future generations. Do feel free to ask questions about how heritage inventories work in practice, as well as the technical questions about Arches.
And of course there’s a lot more than just the Taj Mahal out there… http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_whs.asp (and that’s just the World Heritage Sites).
Everyone… Do we have any specialists in the archaeology of India in the group?

I get really excited when i get to know organizations that help in protecting our cultural heritage.It's a pity that the vast treasure of our monuments are destroyed just because it's inventory is not organized.I am a computer science engineering student from india .I chatted quite a lot with robert gatson yesterdayon irc who guided me in building arches into my linux ubuntu 12.04 yesterday.This is a screenshot of my system with vagrant up command that setup up virtual vm into my system .. http://postimg.org/image/han8ufvqb/ .I am really eager to start contributing to arches and make this dream of preserving our heritage come through . :)

Greetings UtsavWelcome to the Arches forum! One source that I would recommend to learn more about how heritage inventories work (as well as about the Arches project) is the fall 2013 issue of the Getty Conservation Institute newsletter, which is focused on the theme of heritage inventories. It's online at:Best regards,David Myers
