Subject: [dataflow] DataFlow - new (beta) release available
(please feel free to circulate this to interested colleagues)
We have liftoff!
The DataFlow<http://www.dataflow.ox.ac.uk/> project is proud to announce new release candidates for the DataStage<http://www.dataflow.ox.ac.uk/index.php/datastage> and DataBank<http://www.dataflow.ox.ac.uk/index.php/databank> software, which are nearly feature-complete.
You can download the software as a virtual machine or as debian-packaged files from the DataStage downloads<http://www.dataflow.ox.ac.uk/index.php/datastage/ds-download> and DataBank downloads<http://www.dataflow.ox.ac.uk/index.php/databank/db-download> pages on our website. We are working on video walkthroughs for installation and use – we will post these to our home page as soon as they are ready. In the meantime, we recommend reading our Information for test users<http://www.dataflow.ox.ac.uk/index.php/datastage/users/test-users/101-info-for-test-users> page.
Please do let us know how you get on! There are four ways to do this:
1) Use our issue tracker to flag up problems or suggest features (instructions here<http://www.dataflow.ox.ac.uk/index.php/datastage/users/test-users/101-info-for-test-users>)
2) See (and contribute to) our DataStage<https://github.com/dataflow/DataStage/wiki> and DataBank<https://github.com/dataflow/RDFDatabank/wiki> documentation wikis
3) Monitor (and contribute to) our project email list ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, history here<http://groups.google.com/group/dataflow-devel/topics?hl=en>)
4) Email me directly ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) if you’re not sure what to do
If you want to try the system without installing it (or get your system to talk to our DataStage/DataBank instances), we have two "demo" machines which we keep updated with the latest stable code (open to the public, routinely wiped).
DataStage: http://dataflow-vm1.oerc.ox.ac.uk/
DataBank: http://databank-vm1.oerc.ox.ac.uk/

Katherine Fletcher
