INTRODUCTION [toc] This page contains a collection of links to resources that are in some way related to the 'Alexis' project or to other activities of Ella Associates. In some cases, where there is more than one format for a document, the 'plain text' format may be slightly more up-to-date than the other formats. 2.

ALEXIS DOCUMENTATION [toc] Some Alexis Documentation(/internal/alexis-docs/) This directory contains the beginning of the 'alexis documentatiion project' (the adp). It includes some UML class diagrams and other assorted information. You will need the 'ella internal' password to see this currently (I think nick has sent that to everybody who should have it). Seldomly Asked Questions about Alexis(/alexis-info/docs/alexis-faq.html) This page contains some answers to questions about how to use Alexis. It is very incomplete and not well formatted.

Initial Notes (Formats: html | text) This file contains some initial instructions and notes about Alexis. Some Alexis Technical Details (Formats: html | text | pdf | xml) A brief and incomplete technical explanation of the Server and Client Components (Chakriya and Columbine) of the Alexis system.

VARIOUS HELP AND INSTRUCTION PAGES [toc] The Pretty Good Privacy Super-Quick Guide (Formats: text | html) How to 'secure' your emails.

About Adding Comments To Ella Web Pages (Formats: html | text) This document provides some information about adding comments to Ella Web Pages, using the super-simple comment system. This page also provides a example of a page you can add comments to, and some tricks you can use when adding comments.

In some cases (perhaps the majority) these pages will not contain anything, depending on the motivations of the particular person. 7. VERY TECHNICAL STUFF [toc] This section contains links to technical resources. By the word 'technical' I mean that they would mainly be of interest to programmers and developers. Some Netbeans Resources (Formats: html | text) Some information about the Netbeans platform apon which Alexis is being built and some hints and explanations for developers using Netbeans to develop Alexis. The Tree-View Review (Formats: html | text | pdf) This document contains a pacily written review of tree-view style components available on the internet, implemented in java or javascript, and hopefully supporting an XML configuration file. Web Collaboration Review (Formats: html | text) This document contains a review of some of the available software which allows the setting up of a 'community' or 'forum' or similar system. Wiki Systems (Formats: html | text) This file reviews and discusses some 'wiki' systems available on the Internet as well as the related idea of 'plain text markup' system. DocBook Information (Formats: html | text) This file contains information about using docbook XML. * /utils/checkhotmail.class * /utils/checkhotmail.java A java utility and source code to test a list of Hotmail addresses for validity. That is, the program establishes whether each address actually exists. The program does this without sending any test messages to the target addresses. This needs to become a 'web-script' to allow any user to access it. (See the page which is listed in the 'miscelaneous' section of this web-page) The NetBeans Tomcat Guide (Formats: html | text | pdf) This is the guide to using Netbeans with the Tomcat Server The NetBeans Users Guide (Formats: html | text | pdf) This is the general Users guide from the Netbeans IDE. The File is approximately 1 Megabyte.

About WebDav (Formats: html | text) WebDav is an extension to the HTTP protocol which allows distributed 'authoring' of documents instead of just distributed 'viewing' of documents (as is the case for normal HTTP). The Alexis System uses WebDav. Some RedHat Linux And U.S Server Information (Formats: html | text) This file contains the beginning of my investigations into how to do just about everything in RedHat Linux. This has become necessary because the US Server (T1) is running RedHat not Debian like the 'local server'. Information about 'iptables' (Formats: html | text) This is the beginning of some information and links about the Linux program 'iptables' which is designed to prevent 'network abuse' Some javadoc research (Formats: html | text) This page seeks to investigate how javadoc may be used in different and more powerful ways from it normal "transform-to-html" mode. This may be important in order to integrate Alexis javadoc with other aspects of Alexis documentation. Information About 'James' and 'SendMail' (Formats: html | text) This page contains some links to resources about the two mail servers James and Sendmail. Ella Associates uses the James Mail Server (which is written in Java) but the U.S. Server initially had the Sendmail MTA (mail transport agent) installed, which had to be 'disabled' before setting up James. *http://httpd.apache.org/docs/ Documentation for the Apache Web Server. This is very comprehensive and good. Every imaginable topic seems to be covered. There are many examples for configuration. *http://java.sun.com/xml/tutorial_intro.html An introductory tutorial to the XML Standard Some PHP Resources (Formats: html | text) Some web resources and information for the PHP web scripting system A Review of XML tools (Formats: html | text) A short review of some xml tools such as XML editors as well as review sites of XML tools (that is web-sites that provide reviews of different tools that are available on the Internet) DNS Learning Materials (Formats: html | text) This page contains some links to on-line resources for learning about the DNS service and how to set up a DNS Server. Netcat and Smtp difficulties (Formats: html | text) A description of attempting to get SMTP to work from a shell script The trials and tribulations. This endevour may have well been misguided. Perl, or the 'mail' program could do the same more easily. Some Ella CVS Info (Formats: html | text) This contains some information about using the Ella CVS system. This file requires the 'ella internal' password. *http://gnuWin32.sourceforge.net/ Microsoft Windows 'ports' (versions) of many Gnu (open source) tools. *http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm A list of valid two letter language codes. You use these when you translate a web-page into another language and want the 'users' browser to automatically display the right language. eg: If you file is in French name it 'mygreatwebpage.html.fr' or it could be 'mygreatwebpage.fr.html' (I am still not 100% sure). About the RPM System (Formats: html | text) Some basic notes about the Redhat package manager system, which is the basic and normal way to install stuff on RedHat Linux.. Some Bash Shell Resources (Formats: html | text) This page contains some links for useful stuff for the Unix Bash Shell, including CGI scripting Some Apache Tomcat Stuff (Formats: html | text) This page contains or will contain links to resources about the Apache Tomcat application server, which is a major component of the Alexis program 8.
