rdfhomepage2

As his master's thesis, Andrew Buttigieg did a great job in enhancing the rdfhomepage to make it more user friendly (for the homepage's author). The idea was to cut the monolithic PHP monster into a more modular shape and adding user interfaces ("rdfhomepage toolbox") to make editing and simple adaptions of the look and feel easy.

Ideas and discussions can be found in the rdfhomepage forum: ​https://rdfhomepage.opendfki.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=21

State after the thesis

Andrew spend a lot of time on adding new features but had to change many old sources by rewritting better ones from scratch. The result was a real branch from the old rdfhomepage - to be found in trunk/rdfhomepage2.

Problems:

• rdfhomepage2 works fine, however, the old rdfhomepage user's are still using the old rdfhomepage sources.
• There is no easy migration for bringing "old rdfhomepage" to the new "rdfhomepage2".
• The Installation of rdfhomepage2 works much better than the installation of the old rdfhomepage, however, there are still errors and warnings coming up after/during the "installation" of rdfhomepage2.

Next goals in 2010

Now, Michael Kraus invests 4 weeks of his time to solve the above mentioned problems.

To do:

1. First migration of old rdfh to new rdfh2
   • Try to migrate Sven's homepage (old rdfh) to the new rdfh2
   • Eliminate upcoming errors in warning while migrating
   • Maybe write some "install script" or something alike
2. Set up a completely new rdfh2 (no data at the beginning)
   • Download rdfh2 sources to some place
   • Start "install script" (if available)
   • Incrementally(!) add new data until the homepage is more or less "complete"
   • Eliminate upcoming errors in warning while migrating
   • Maybe adapt the "install script"
   • Set up other rdfh2 instances... until this process works without any erros
