At last it Works! After weeks of research on the best way to put this CMS online, i finally made it. I have tried virtual hosting via the Xserve and done some domain aliasing to forward the port to 8200 to 80 but it doesn't work. So, after tweaking and testing the available services on our firewall system. The NAT (Network Translation Protocol) made the twist. Our ISP provided us a public IPs to use for our servers. I enable the NAT from our firewall to redirect or echo the ping to the actual IP of our server (Xserve). The 8200 port was recognized instead of 80 that enable connection from the outside access our CMS page. Online Content Specialist and Editors can now access and collaborate with our ongoing documents processing.

Filipiniana.Net aspires to be the premier research website on the Philippines. The heart of the site is an electronic archive of digitized documents and images. Each is carefully indexed making the entire collection fully searchable and accessible. Advance search is possible through the use of knowledge maps and subject directories instead of simple catalogs. A more sophisticated search is possible with the use of a thesaurus-based indexing system where the relationships among keywords and key phrases are organized to yield more relevant and context specific results. Annotations and contributions from experts, researchers and budding historians can similarly be integrated in the collection. As a dedicated research portal, it will provide advanced research tools such as bookmarks, virtual clips boards and e-journals. The site will also feature virtual briefcases and virtual bibliographic documentation agents that will make source referencing a breeze. On line dictionaries, glossarie...

Before i should try installing TEI on Mac platform i have to test it on windows. I have found out out in order to run the installer, javac.exe is needed to run the installer teiPublisherInstall20050507.jar. So, research and documentation is needed for successful installation of the package. I have first to determine if javac.exe is present on my windows system so have to use command line terminal by typing javac -version and enter. Its not available so i download the JDK lastest version at http://java.sun.com. I have to download Sun Download Manager v.1.3 for windows- a special utility for sun's software downloads because JDK download got an error. Bad day, it has also a dead link..shuks!

Our saga over open source applications for CMS never ends. After Filnet's collaboration with the Philippine Gutenberg Project , its webmaster ( Jeroen Hellingman ) who also happens to run http://www.bohol.ph/ generously gave us his practical advice on the ongoing development of Filnet. He even gave us some files he had already process so we can have something to start with. One thing that give us another way to think around is his TEI platform for publishing. Since I have already started with the development of Plone (this is the sample site i made) now i have to tweak around and look what at the core of the TEI who run such big database site such as the Guttenberg project. Well,i know that theres so many other CMS available in the open source arena but we have to practically adapt applications that are already proven and used by other organizations. Besides, we should always follow the International Standards to make it available in a cross repository sites online. So after ...

One of the major reason for the development of the Content Management System is Collaboration . After weeks of configuration and investigation how the Plone works, I have successfully set-up an initial ARTICLES and the BLOG folder. Have assign users access privileges, folders and so on. I have also created a BLOG folder to be able members/users of the site get updated on the ongoing process and activities of FILNET project. I just don't know how can I be able to update the blog from time to time. The ARTICLES folder is the list of documents on process and to be processed. This is the page where content specialist/writers and editors collaborate with the project. From here, they can start exchanging comments if necessary. My next move is to be able to figure out how to make this available at port:80 so i can publish it to the web. The Plone resides on port 8200 by default. I have to figure out how this would work behind Apache . This facility would be advantageous for our content ...
