Annotum2Go preview-beta initial release README
------------------------------
What is Annotum2Go?
------------------------------
Annotum2Go is a self-contained version of Annotum based on Timo Haberkern's Server2Go CD-Rom Webserver.
It also includes Firefox Portable from PortableApps
See http://annotum.wordpress.com for more info on Annotum.
See the readme-server2go.txt file for more information about Server2Go -- and please send Timo a donation
if you find it useful! The documentation is available via the 'server configuration' link after starting Annotum2Go.
If you have problems starting the server you can start it directly under htdocs/documentaion/documentation.html
Server2Go supports Apache 2.2, PHP5, SQLite and MySQL.
See FirefoxPortable/Other/Source/readme.txt for more information about Firefox Portable.
------------------------------
About this Annotum version
------------------------------
This distribution contains a pre-release version of the Annotum WordPress theme. It contains bugs and should not be used
for a production system.
Please note that certain significant pieces of functionality, in particular the authoring tools, conformance with document
structure, and the import/export of XML are not fully implemented in this Alpha release. The workflow elements and some
authoring tools are *mostly* implemented but some gaps remain.
------------------------------
Get Started with Annotum2Go
------------------------------
To start Annotum2Go, follow these steps:
1. Unzip the contents of the distribution file to a local directory -- it even works from a USB drive!
2. Run annotum2go.exe. After the splash screen, Firefox Portable should start.
3. Click the big Annotum logo to start Annotum
4. For more details on how to use Annotum, please refer to Annotum2Go-getting-started.txt
Technical Notes:
* if you are using email (see below) you will want to change the email address for the
annotum2go account via Wordpress settings.
* You are not limited to using Firefox Portable -- any browser will work once Annotum2Go is running.
However, please note that if you close Firefox Portable, all annotum2go services (apache, mysql)
will shut down. This behavior is configurable in the Server2Go settings -- see
htdocs/documentaion/documentation.html for more information.
* If you want to receive email notifications from Annotum2Go, you'll need to set up a local SMTP server.
I can recommend MercuryMail for a simple SMTP smart host and client, but other mail servers may also work.
Please see readme-mercurymail-tip.txt for a tip on using MercuryC with your ISP's SMTP server.
