offsite storage wishlist

• Main wishes...

  • logging

lightning talk...

I'll note a problem, and a solution I wanted to share, and speak a little more broadly...

The problem was a workflow. A Digital Humanities Librarian and her graduate-students would intermittently work on a faculty project, which, at its core, has a website showing translated inscriptions. Their xml data was stored in a private subversion repository. I had set up a script to periodically check to see if inscriptions in the subversion repository had been updated, and, if so, to then process them for display. Many months could go by without any data changes being made, followed by brief bursts of updates. So the problem was, I tended to want my script to check for changes relatively infrequently, but during work-bursts, the data-updaters wanted to see their changes flow into the website as immediately as possible.

We tried a couple things, but the eventual solution: we've moved the xml data-files to a public github repository, and use github's webhooks feature. This allowed us to m

## - this is a work-around...

## if you need to install python 3...

## ensure you can run brew doctor with no errors/warnings
