[humanities-dev] New textus version deployed

Mon Jun 25 02:14:16 UTC 2012

Hi all,

There's a new textus build at http://beta.openphilosophy.org - data
store has been wiped so if you played with it before you'll need to
re-register. The new build is a halfway house towards better support
for bibliographic references (see recent blog here -
http://blog.okfn.org/2012/06/20/bibliographic-references-in-textus/).
In this build you can

- review uploads before storing them (primarily to check whether the
markup is being correctly interpreted)
- assign proper bibliographic information to uploaded texts when reviewing
- search text (bibliographic) metadata through the embedded facetview

- embed this text search in your own site should you wish (left as an
exercise for the reader - the 'bibserver-like' elasticsearch endpoint
is at http://beta.openphilosophy.org/api/texts-es?, point the okfn
facetview at this and you should see some texts. That or the server
will explode. Please don't make the server explode...)

This iteration does not include reading list functionality but almost
all the groundwork for that is now done so it should appear soon[tm]!
