>> Dear colleagues,
>>
>> we have made the files available for downloading ABCD v1.2t at the
URL :
>> http://abcd.netcat.be/files/
>>
>> This page presents all 5 variations and leads to a short form to be
filled
>> in - which allows us to get an idea of who is downloading.
>> After filling in the form (only doing this seriously will give us
real
>> information to share !) the download link will pop up.
>> Beware : depending on variation chosen, the package is in between
62 and
>> 76 Mb size. If this poses severe problems for many users, we will
see if
>> the packages can be divided up into smaller chunks, e.g.
Apache/PHP
>> separately, WWW separately and bases separately.
>>
>> As this is the first time we avail ABCD from a non-BIREME server we
have
>> no experience with the load on the server this page will create, so
bear
>> with us if things might go a bit slow or the server is not always
>> responding immediately.
>> Also be aware of the fact that the whole system now is over 10000
>> folders/files (!), and multiply this with some different computer
>> environments (Windows, Linux, 32-bits, 64bits...), so : no, we
didn't check
>> again every single file, sorry. That is why we need feedback from
voluntary
>> testers in real conditions.
>>
>> Attached to this message goes a document with some instructions. It
is
>> recommended to read it first, esp. the section on how to install
ABCD along
>> with your possibly existing files.
>> Your experiences, both with downloading and installing and then
later on
>> with using the new version, will be very useful if shared in this
>> discussion list !

>> ________________________________
>> Dear colleagues
>>
>> We are preparing to publish 1.2t ABCD version (beta) for all
interested in
>> the list to see how this version fixes and incorporates a lot of
(new)
>> features and functions.
>>
>> We have had three rounds of tests with the help of a dozen people
since
>> last November, and we have reached a point where we thought it best
to
>> submit to a more general level and demanding tests by all
colleagues who
>> wish to do so.
>>
>> This version will be in beta for a few weeks while we verify the
reports
>> and comments you make. Finally we will then post it as an official
version
>> and will replace the current version.
>>
>> The download can be done from an address that Egbert communicate
this
>> weekend, so you can access it from next Monday.
>> To download the file you will be requested to fill in a form for
the sole
>> purpose of having a record of what people are working and which
might be
>> possible collaborators.
>>
>> It will be available for Windows and Linux. The Windows version
comes with
>> Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.3 pre-configured. For Linux the configuration
is to be
>> done in the dedicated Apache installation (/etc/apache2).
>> In the download package some setup instructions will be given.
>>
>> It is assumed that people who download the application will have
>> previously installed and gained some previous experience with ABCD,
and/or
>> have some computer knowledge.
>>
>> As it is not the final version, we have no ability to give basic
support
>> for the installation of ABCD to people without the necessary
skills, that
>> kind of support will be published after the official version. What
we are
>> asking is a review by our ISIS-community colleagues with some level
of
>> expertise, and there are many, as we know.
