Manx 2.0 beta

Things have progressed nicely on Manx and I now have a reasonable UI for adding new online documents to the system. I've also fixed some bugs and added a few other minor features. I'm inviting the cctalk community to beta test the changes and report any issues using the tracker on the codeplex project page: <http://manx.codeplex.com/WorkItem/Create> You will need an account on codeplex to create issues. Creating an account is free and you will not receive any spam. The beta is hooked up to a separate database, so you can't break anything in the current system. Manx 2.0 beta: <http://manx.classiccmp.org/test> Login with these credentials: email: demo at example.com password: demonstratus Try the URL Wizard to add new documents for existing sites, new sites, or from mirrors known to manx of sites already known to manx. Changes from Manx 1.0: All users: - RSS feed published of 200 most recently added documents - Fixed problem with page title on details page - Details page for a publication links company name to search of docs for that company. - About page updated - Help page updated - UTF-8 now handled properly throughout Logged-in users: - See table of known mirror data - See table of known site data - URL Wizard for adding documents From a URL, try to figure out as much as possible, such as: * part number * document title * document publication date * company * site owning document * document format (PDF, etc.) All fields can be edited if the wizard makes a poor guess from the URL. The wizard is able to guess most information if the URL is on bitsavers. The wizard uses AJAX to obtain information from the database, so you will need a JavaScript enabled web browser for the wizard to work properly. Some error checking has been done, but the wizard could probably use additional checks and preventions against duplicate or badly formed data. There are no instructions on the Wizard page, but generally the idea is that you start by pasting in the URL and tab from field to field adjusting all the data as needed. If any field contains invalid data, it's label will be changed to red when you attempt to advance the wizard by clicking the button. Please create issues in the tracker for anything you find! -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
