[schooltool] explicit step-guided document to install and populate SchoolTool and CanDo

[Francois Bourassa]

Hello,

Where can I find explicit step-guided document(s) to install and populate
SchoolTool/CanDo?

If it doesn't exist, I'm willing to document it for a Dapper server and and
Edgy server.


I fell that I'm doing too much googling to get information together.

==== What I have managed yet ====

Somehow, on an edubuntu dapper client, I managed to type: sudo apt-get
install schooltool and after scipts completed, opended it (Schooltool v
0.10) in localhost:7080 where I created ten people, a course, a timetable
and four terms.

An attempt to import people's logins, names and passwords in comma-separated
format from a text file worked partially.

In the installation instructions:

I have a hard time figuring which commands are for server or client, stable
or development, breezy or dapper, schooltool or schoolbell, version 0.10,
or 0.11, in which folder things go...

(yes, we're at alpha 3 now)
and:

I'd find pedagogical to freeze one solid install and populate document on
Dapper and Edgy for average-coder but good technicians like me to learn
from.

at least you can test the basis. :-)

could you be more precise and give us the problem you have, and
preferably the files that you used as examples). With this we will be
able to test ourselves and report more precisely some comments.

OK

We'll try to be more precise. (at least, as the person who translated
the documents to French and tested them, I'll try to be).

I do not understand this sentence. Could you please reformulate it ?

THanks you for joigning and helping with schooltool.

Nicolas

PS could you present you a little : where do you work, which kind of
school, which level ... ? This could help us also with the definition
of the use cases.
