Kallisto is a simple web app that allows many people to contribute to cleaning a transcript, most likely for Spacelog (or another site using the same Artemis software). Input is in the form of a set of PNGs of transcript pages, and (optionally) a text file for each to act as an initial "uncleaned" version. In turn, someone using Kallisto will "clean" a single page, attempting to get the text representation to match the original image.
This is very early days, but:
- Ubuntu (14.04) + postgresql-9.3 + imagemagick + ghostscript + libpng12-0 + python-dev
- Create a database called "kallisto" accessible by "user" with no password
- Django 1.7 app;
pip install -r requirements/dev.txtinto a virtualenv, thenpython manage.py migrateshould get you started - You need to make a mission, which must include a mission patch (because we want things to look pretty!)
python manage.py import_pageswill import the text and PNG pages; see its help for how (and how to generate them)- run tests with
python manage.py test
Via fabric. Check out fab -l for help, then:
$ fab -H $HOST setup:{ SCARY AMOUNTS OF CONFIGURATION }
$ fab -H $HOST deploy
should do what you want. Won't help you with setting up a database, or directing your website to forward to the gunicorn instance.
This works well at 1080p full screen in Chrome with presentation mode, and various smaller resolutions. Firefox doesn’t have presentation mode, and at 1080p the page is slightly too tall unless you turn off the bookmarks bar (at which point you can juggle things in full screen mode).
If you can’t manage 1080p, the best width is probably a little under 1500px (which triggers the two column layout), since it makes the text nice and large.
There may be some resolutions where the textarea scrolls, although they should be minimal. This hasn’t been tested on real tablets, only emulated. All the sizing is based on early pages of MA8, and so will undoubtedly fail on other missions and possibly on later pages of that one.
With assistance and ideas from the rest of the Spacelog team.
