Public bug reported: URL: http://kete.net.nz/
Description: Kete is an Open Source application writen in Ruby on Rails, released under the GPL. Kete stores, organises, indexes and retrieves all sorts of digital files including Office documents, PDF's, images, videos, audio such as spoken word and music, website links, and html pages/text. Kete encourages you to make links between different items that enable users to browse your collection. It also facilitates discussion about items and topics, so you can build understanding and foster collaboration. Kete by default is open so that any member of the community can participate by adding material, or editing entries. You can make some items private, and some public, and you can make some areas open to public input, and others "view only". You can collect lots of detailed information about a "thing" whether that be a person, or a document, or picture, or you can not require a lot at all. Kete is purpose built software to enable communities to collaboratively build their own digital libraries, archives and repositories. "Kete" is a Maori word meaning a "Basket". Developed in partnership between the Horowhenua Library Trust and Katipo Communications Ltd. http://www.katipo.co.nz/solutions/kete.html Useful for; * Libraries (books, tapes, videos, toys) * Museums * Schools * Collectors * Community Coops (shared resources and assets) * Private organizations and Institutions * Marae and Iwi License: GPL Notes: Installation and set up - http://kete.net.nz/documentation/topics/show/114-installation It might be handy to have this setup process as automated as possible (e.g. scripted). Maybe with an option to load an initial example of a library setup. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: books database library media needs-packaging rails ruby -- [needs-packaging] Kete - Library & Collections Management program for books, media, toys, for communities https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
