What is OpenSlides?
===================
OpenSlides is a free web-based presentation and assembly system for
displaying and controlling of agenda, motions and elections of an assembly.
See http://openslides.org for more information.
Getting started
===============
Install and start OpenSlides as described in the INSTALL.txt.
If you need help please contact the OpenSlides team on public mailing
list or read the OpenSlides manual. See http://openslides.org.
The start script of OpenSlides
==============================
Simply running
openslides.exe (on Windows)
or
openslides (on Linux/MacOS)
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
