Fedora and Trello + ArchivesSpace ( FaT AS )

README

This was the developer challenge project submitted by Chris Fitzpatrick (ArchivesSpace ) 
and Leila Belle Sterman ( Montana St. University ) at Open Repositories 2014.

This is a proof of concept to show how to develop an ArchivesSpace plugin that interacts
with a repository (Fedora 4, in this situation ) and workflow manager ( in this case, https://trello.com/ ). 

The basic process is that adding a Digital Object will also update a Trello board with a
card, possibly indicating someone to perform a scanning operation. When file versions 
are associated to the digital object, the content will be uploaded to Fedora 4 and 
Trello will be updated, possibly indicating that digitization has been completed. 

You can just download a packaged version of the finished demo here =>

or see https://github.com/cfitz/fedora-trello-plugin

Check out the plugins/fedora to see how your able to override models, controllers, 
and views in frontent, backend, indexer, and public ArchivesSpace applications. 

You will need to edit plugins/fedora/backend/model/digital_object.rb to add your
email and trello account information. 

To run this, just issue the ./archivesspace.sh command ( archivesspace.bat 
on windows). This will launch ArchivesSpace backend, public, indexer, and staff UI
as well as a running Fedora 4 ( at localhost:8181 ). Then go to localhost:8080 and
log into ArchivesSpace with admin/admin.
