New page

I know, you've seen it, right? [http://acumen.lib.ua.edu/ Acumen]

It's a very cool way to put your digital content online.

It’s based on PHP, MySQL and Apache. . . and contents are left untouched in web directories. This means you can access and update your metadata or bitstreams at any time, without going through the delivery software. The automatic indexer will pick up the changes. It’s very cool.

This also means that it's much simpler to get stuff in or out... and hey, if the database crashes, no big deal. The content is untouched -- just restart the software, and it will rebuild the database.
