Installation issues and documentation

[Florent Aide]

Hello all,

I have fixed a lot of installation issues:

- I had a link on the website pointing to a non existent file and
setup tools thought it found an 1.0.2 release because of this bad link
so this is now fixed. (my fault argh!!)

- I had a PIL dependency in the setup.py that made it hard to
install it because setuptools refused to see your installed PIL...
this is fixed (removed from setup.py) and explained in the
installation manual

- I was badly missing some installation documentation and this is
fixed with an installation manual (PDF) now available online for your
consumption: http://tinyurl.com/22r8cl

- The database creation script was awkward and not really easy to
find. This is finished. The application now creates the database on
startup if it does not exist.

Any feedback is welcome :)

Best regards,
Florent AIDE.

Nicely done, Florent!

If you'll continue the documentation thing, you can pickup some stuff
from my blog, I have some examples/screenshots there...

Good luck!

I'll look into this :)

I'll be on a trip during next week in Africa and I think I'll not be
able to manage much during that time. Would you mind if I give you
moderation rights on the google group so you can accept the new
posters ?

Anyway thanks for the first reply you sent to mac on the list, did you
write anything to upload images and include them inside a post ?

I did not have time to look into that yet but if nothing exists yet I
think I'll have to implement something pretty rapidly (I have an idea
on this already). I may not have internet access but I'll have a
laptop with me in my hotel room :)

Regards,

Florent.

I hope so :)

Cool, I'd be happy to land a hand with the group.
Regarding the image uploads - nothing been done. Right now you can
just add URLs to the image...
But an additional solution can be provided - a self hosted image
storage or a plugin based external storage, like imageshack, flickr
and etc,configurable at the Dashboard.

Done you have management rights on the gg.

Ok I'll look into it.

I though about a plugin(image server) that I tested once where you
uploaded files and it resized it on diverse sizes and gave you urls
you could use...

Cheers,

Florent.
