06-08-2010 LEAPS progress report
From W
This week has seen progress with downloading data, both bulk download to various formats and individual download to PDF.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to use hosting provided by University of Edinburgh, as python cannot be supported. I tested alternative hosting with a supplier based in the UK, but it proved unsatisfactory. However, I have now found another UK based supplier who appear to meet all the requirements, and will work to provide the service with them next week.
It would be good to test the functionality by training / demonstrating to LEAPS staff. This will require provision of documentation for training purposes, which I will complete next week. I will find out if a meeting can be organised with LEAPS for the end of next week.
As functionality should shortly be available on the new supplier site, I will not move updates to the public test server at the moment. It will be better to concentrate development on the new environment to ensure there are no compatibility issues.
