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
