Thank you Baggywrinkle,
This is really something great, a similar activity, that they did in the “Foundation”-series, written by Isac Asimov, a favourite of mine. from early age. :original: :thumb_yello:
THIS IS REALLY GREAT!!!! :thumb_yello: :thumb_yello: :thumb_yello:

I have some questions and I am aware that it is a beta testing:

1. Is this “read only” for everybody, except for Researchers?

2. Is it possible for a ordinary Member, to contribute?
For example: Is it a good idea to discuss a topic in an ordinary thread?
And after that put together a PDF-file, and then contact you Researchers?

3. I have a technical problem. I am running Ubuntu Linux 7.10 (Debian-based and updated automatically). :nono: :lmfao:
To show the PDF-files, I'm using “Evince 2.20.1”.
Some of the documents in the Library will issue the following Error code: “Failed to load document from data (error 2)'”.
Maybe, something strange with the DOC- and the PDF- format, just speculations?

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

we need to know the names of the files that error out

I will check it up, it takes some “linear time”. :original:

Thank you to all who made this possible.

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

much of the information is already in the open forum. What we need is just the facts with all of the commentary removed. As you can see it is a challenge
to sift through the forum to find a specific piece of information. The goal
of the library is the right information when you need it at your fingertips.
For this reason we keep tight control over what is added. If you have information you would like to submit for inclusion in the library let me know.
I will arrange for you to be able to upload information, pending approval by
the editors.

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

Thank you very much Baggywrinkle for the information. :thumb_yello:

Wow! Thank you sooooo much - well done!:original::original::original:

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

Hello everyone, I just want to remind folks that the researchers worked really, really hard getting the library data together so folks can start downloading ASAP. We've no idea how much time before something happens where the net may go down, so this is a nice time to get that info stored onto your hard drive, discs or flash drive.

I also want to personally thank Don, Fritz, Joy, Tez, Miki, Henry and the many other researchers who assisted in this daunting endeavor for all of thier outstanding hard work. They have been working almost non-stop throughout all of December and up to now putting in hundreds of hours into gathering this data, organizing it and preparing it to be downloaded. What they did will save lives but only if you, the member, take the time to access and download what they put together for you.

Awesome job folks. :thumb_yello:

Thousand thanks!

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

Big thanks to all the researchers and everyone involved in bringing this library to us.

Something kinda wierd happened when I followed Baggy's original link though.

The avatar and screenname were not mine. It said "hi blastawaycas" the first time I went there. When i moved on to the "sections" link, the screen switched and my name and avatar were displayed, but I suppose if I could have looked through pms under that name while i was pseudo logged in as that member.

Just mentioning this because I know it's a beta version and still evolving I guess.

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

Thanks for the heads up, raulduke, and thanks to everyone who has browsed around the library. It's still very much in the beginning stages, with much more to come than is already there. So check in often.

Since none of us librarians are programmers, any remaining little bugs will have to wait until we get some tech help on the researcher team.

And we very much appreciate your feed back on the library.

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

Some feedback:
Uploaded only about 20 books so far.. much more will come as I get more time.
Only problem I have had is that whenever I upload a book of substantial size ie: greater than 5mb, either the entire screen turns completely white with no response towards the completion of the upload OR I get various error messages.

Shame as I have many valuable books to upload that are of a larger size.

Apart from that everything is running smoothly. Thanks for the great resource.

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

The upload/download module seems to have a bug. Or else there is a setting that is causing larger uploads/downloads to time out.

I am researching this issue.

Gareth has just installed FTP capability for the library. This will be used for large (er) files. But it won't
do any good if we cannot solve the download issue.

Re: Avalon Ark Library is open
 

If you have issues uploading downloading or viewing a file in the library, I want to know about it.

Gareth did some tinkering under the hood and we need to know if it worked..
