-2. Installation
-===============
-For installation notes, please see the file INSTALL.TXT
-
-
-3. Usage
-========
-The system is designed to accessed through the command-line, e-mail or web
-interface. Roundup has some useful doucmentation in its docstrings, so
-"pydoc roundup" will give useful information.
-
-3.1 Command-line
-----------------
-The command-line tool is called "roundup-admin" and is used for most low-level
-database manipulations such as:
- . creating a database instance
- . redefining the list of products ("create" and "retire" commands)
- . adding users manually, or setting their passwords ("create" and "set")
- . other stuff - run it with no arguments to get a better description of
- what it does.
-
-
-3.2 E-mail
-----------
-See the docstring at the start of the roundup/mailgw.py source file.
-Use "pydoc roundup.mailgw".
-
-
-3.3 Web
--------
-Hopefully, this interface is pretty self-explanatory...
-
-Index views may be modified by the following arguments:
- :sort - sort by prop name, optionally preceeded with '-'
- to give descending or nothing for ascending sorting.
- :group - group by prop name, optionally preceeded with '-' or
- to sort in descending or nothing for ascending order.
- :filter - selects which props should be displayed in the filter
- section. Default is all.
- :columns - selects the columns that should be displayed.
- Default is all.
- propname - selects the values the node properties given by propname
- must have (very basic search/filter).
-
-
-
-3. Design
-=========
-See the information in the "doc" directory.
-
-
-
-4. TODO
-=======
-Most of the TODO items are captured in comments in the code. In summary:
-
-in general:
- . more unit tests
- . more back-ends
- . better error handling (nicer messages for users)
-hyperdb:
- . transaction support
- . more efficient reverse lookups
-roundupdb:
- . split the file storage into multiple dirs?
-roundup-mailgw:
- . errors as attachments
-roundup-server:
- . check the source file timestamps before reloading
-cgi_client
- . keep form fields in form on bad submission - only clear it if all ok
-
-
-5. Known Bugs
-=============
-
-date:
- . date subtraction doesn't work correctly "if the dates cross leap years,
- phases of the moon, ..."
-cgi:
- . setting an issue to resolved, and no other changes, results in a change
- message with no indication of what changed
- . enabling a filter disables the current filter hidden fields...
