Demonstration Aggregator

From Xcri

For a general introduction to the demonstration aggregator, read the blog post

The demonstration aggregator provided at XCRI.org is also available as open source code using the MIT License. The system comes in two pieces:

• Aggregator engine written in Java. browse subversion repository
• Web application using Ruby on Rails browse subversion repository

You can see it in action here.

The aggregator uses MySQL as the database back-end.

The Aggregator engine should be run periodically using cron. The Rails application contains Capistrano tasks for doing this - "cap daily" and "cap weekly". Edit deploy.rb to suit your environment.

Note that the demo is very much a work-in-development and is currently not well documented.
