Progress Report: Four N steps to deployment

February 5, 2008 By Ben Brumfield

I've completed one of the four steps I outlined below: my Rails app is now living in a SubVersion repository hosted somewhere further than 4 feet from where I'm typing this. However, I've had to add a few more steps to the deployment process.

Whew

January 17, 2008 By Ben Brumfield

Progress Report: Transcription Access Controls

June 23, 2007 By Ben Brumfield

I've just checked in transcription authorization, completing the security tasks a work owner may perform. I decided that owners should be able to mark work as unrestricted -- any logged-in user may transcribe that work. Otherwise, owners specify which users may transcribe or modify transcriptions. These administrative features have been some of the quickest to implement, … [Read more...] about Progress Report: Transcription Access Controls
