English README file for OpenSlides ================================== This is OpenSlides, version 1.2. What is OpenSlides? =================== OpenSlides is a free, web-based presentation system for displaying and controlling of agendas, applications and elections of an event. See http://www.openslides.org for more information. Getting started =============== Simply running openslides.exe will start OpenSlides using djangos development server. It will also try to open OpenSlides in your default webbrowser. The server will listen on the IP address of your current hostname on port 80 (if port 80 is not available port 8000 will be used). This means that the server will be available to everyone on your local network (at least for commonly used network configurations). See `Command line options` below if you need to change this. The login for the default admin user after (created on first start), is as follows: Username: admin Password: admin Command line options ==================== The following command line options are available: -a, --address=ADDRESS Changes the address on which the server will listen for connections -p, --port Changes the port on which the server will listen for connections --syncdb Create/ update the database --reset-admin This will reset the password of the user Example 1: Openslides should only be accessible on this computer: openslides.exe -a 127.0.0.1 Example 2: Like above, but also specify the port as 8080 openslides.exe -a 127.0.0.01 -p 8080 Supported operating systems and browsers ======================================== Operating Systems: Windows XP or newer (32 and 64bit) [use openslides.exe] MacOS X GNU/Linux Browsers: Firefox 3.6+ IE 7+ Chrome Safari
