I'm currently tasked to create a document management system that complies with ISO (International Organization of Standardization). Problem is, I don't know what ISO fits and / or is intended for a document management system.
Can anyone help me out? The system is going to be made using web tecchnologies, such as PHP and MySQL.
As far as I know "The document managements system" is the part of ISO 9001 Quality Management System. Try to dig this ISO.
For PHP/MySQL you need the web-server like "Apache" and connect both PHP and MySQL to this server. I've used "DENVER project" that install all three (Apache, PHP, MySQL) in one packet.

Is there an api within the POSIX UNIX API standard for access to clipboard, like fetching current pasted item, changing current pasted item etc?
Also what I see is there does not seem to be any community or atleast that I can find where I might find more resources and posts about people developing stuff using the POSIX APIs (I know its such a niche and probably there aren't many developers working on them everyday to churn out OSes like mcdonalds burgers). Could someone point me to an appropriate place if they know exists?
What's a "clipboard"? Isn't it a concept specific to GUIs? POSIX doesn't do GUIs.
For the POSIX API, go to The Open Group Base Specifications, volume System Interfaces.
POSIX describes the interfaces which the operating system exposes to application programs. It is a tool for application developers, not for operating system developers.
I have a progam this is a converter for .NET that can be used in other .NET projects.
I have two kinds of license:
Developer license for DESKTOP software
Developer license for WEB server deployed software.
How I can protect my program if client buy (1) license he CAN NOT use it on the SERVER.
Disclaimer: I don't know anything about .Net, other than how to spell it, and I'm not completely sure about that.
It seems like one difference between a person using your file converter on their desktop and using it on a web server is that only a single instance will be running at a time on the desktop; a web page will probably have multiple instances, once per concurrent request. This seems like something you could enforce in software, and also something you could easily write into a license agreement.
Does IIS run with a graphical console on Windows? If it doesn't, and your desktop version does, maybe you could detect that?
Ultimately, though, if someone wants to get around your server/desktop distinction enough, they're going to; they could, for example, have the web server send the document to a desktop machine, and have the desktop send it back to the server. So, at some point, you'll have to give in and either ignore it or to say that's a problem for legal to handle.
If it is desktop software (I'm not sure by the question with the tag), you could use the Environment object to check what OS the code is running on and stop it running on Server Technology. This won't help if they run a server using XP or the like though, but it's a start.
I would like to do some japanese text to speech on my dedicated windows 2003 x64 server with .net framework, using c#
I found something on google, but requires to install a lot of files on the server... i don't like, for stability issues: there is another option, like a linked dll or something?
You can use Microsoft Speech SDK. It's a set of COM APIs containing TTS and SR engines. I'm not sure if it contains Japanese TTS though.
What you most likely want is the Microsoft Speech Server especially if your webite is going to encounter any decent load or volume.
From the site:
"A speech platform, MSS contains all
the server components for deploying
telephony (voice-only) and multimodal
(voice/visual) applications. MSS
combines Web technologies,
speech-processing services, and
telephony capabilities into a single
system. "
There is also a dedicated Microsft Speech community which will likely help you get started in this realm. Also, I'm not sure what the latest version is...2004 R2?
This article has a decent diagram outlining the various components. Looks like a good fit for integration with an ASP Web Application.
using SAPI in an ASP.NET website, is impossible: the sound will be reproduced on the server :S
It seems that there is the need of Microsoft Speech Server
...
Or not? With asp.net is possible to run a commandline exe on the server to save an mp3, then stream that mp3, right? (how to do that? i will try to figure it)
I will go this way, i let you know the result :)
edit: this is how i solved:
How to save text-to-speech as a wav with Microsoft SAPI?
I save the generated voice in a wav file, then i embed it on the page, playing it in a flash player
COOL!!
Use Microsoft Speech Library and see this article Text to Speech with the Microsoft Speech Library and SDK version 5.1 in CodeProject. Also see Giving Computers a Voice in Coding4Fun
The System.Speech.Synthesis namespace has been part of the framework since .NET 3.0. However, it has internal dependencies on the Speech SDK COM libraries (it chooses the correct version depending on the host OS), so I would recommend prototyping the work before you jump in.
The class you should probably look at first is System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer (whitepaper and example code)
Warning: I have personally experienced issues using the speech APIs in an ASP.NET environment whereby the request that returned the audio data never returned. Despite heavy debugging I was never able to resolve the issue and the feature was dropped. I have had an unresolved support case with Microsoft for 12 months now.
I'm a newbie developers and building an application with 3 other remote developers. I've only worked alone until now, and now I need a way to share my source code with the other developers on the project. All of the project sites out there (SourceForge, Codeplex, Google, etc) seem to be aimed at Open Source development I'm not interested in making our code available to the world, I'm just looking for a method of sharing the code among the four of us. What is the best known method...or how is this usually accomplished?
Set up a Subversion repository (can be accessed across http).
There is an excellent online free book detailing pretty much everything you need to know about Version Control with Subversion
Yep, you need a version control repository which is remotely accessible. Subversion is excellent and very widely used; Git is another good option.
You could set up your own repository - you'll need a server which all devs can access via ssh, or via Apache/WebDAV - or use a hosted service, like Beanstalk, Project Locker, Unfuddle, SVNsite, etc.
http://beanstalkapp.com/
Set up a Subvserion repository (http://subversion.tigris.org/). You can control who may view your data through accounts, plus it gives you document versioning. When paired with a Http server, you can even view the source directly in a browser.
Subversion has all sorts of plugins for Eclipse and even Visual Studio, I believe. Tortise SVN is a stand-alone SVN client you may like, although I recommend an IDE-integrated plugin.
Subversion also goes well with a continuous integration server, such as Continuum.
Hosted: http://wush.net is another Subversion hosting platform.
Or, if you can host your own server, check out the VERY easy to use and VERY free VisualSVN Server: http://www.visualsvn.com/server/
You don't say what computing resources you have available, but the easy choice is to use a central server with say SVN to which you all have ssh access using a public key. You can probably rent such a service for around $10 per month.
If you don't like central servers, you can try Mercurial or git and ssh back and forth between your personal development machines.
If ssh is problematic, git actually enables you to send patches to each other by email (probably Mercurial does too). Ben Lynn's Git Magic tutorial explains.
You can use an online source control (like SVN or Git), and share it only with your team members. You should look into Unfuddle, it's a free source control/project hosting, complete with bug tracking system. I use it for my personal projects and it's awesome.
I think the best solution is Subversion. Subversion is a free source control system that is ideal for your requirement.
You can use many other support tools like Tortoise SVN to make the things more easier.
Here is one of the cheat sheets that describes commands of SVN.
Most of the Web hosting providers support easy one click installation of SVN on their servers. ex : Dreamhost So you can get a setup done very easily.
CVS is another Source control system that are used widely but I haven't seen any providers that support easy installation of CVS but there should be. You can have support tools for CVS such as Tortoise CVS as well.
I don't think you are interested in visual source safe (Microsoft Proprietary and not over Web) so I am not going to add information about it here. :)
You need to set up a source control repository. It's a pretty big topic, I'm really not sure where the best place to start reading about it would be. I'm sure the Wikipedia article on Revision Control will at least give you a bit of an overview.
This seems like a decent introductory series as well: Source Control HOWTO
Subversion works just fine over http/https. It is an open source project, but you can use it for whatever purposes you want.
http://subversion.tigris.org/
Most modern source control systems work well. Subversion is a common one. Which operating system will the developers be running?
If you just want to get up and running quickly with something, check out a hosted subversion system like www.beanstalk.com or www.unfuddle.com.
Subversion is open source, and I know you don't need it, but there are a lot of options here. If on Windows, check out Tortoise SVN. If on a Mac and you don't want a command line client, check out Versions.
You can actually setup google code to only allow viewing/editing by registered members. And I don't think they force any licenses either.
We currently use VSS but are in the process of migrating everything over to Source Gear Vault because VSS makes jumping out of our third story windows a common thought...
Here is a free solution with premium options available... https://freepository.com I have not tried this one.
Try github. It will cost you $12/month though.
Just use devunity.com. upload your code via zip or import it from svn and thats it. lets you collaborate around code instantly.
What tools are available to encrypt or password-protect a file stored on the IFS?
*integrated file-system, accessible from Windows
You could setup object security so only certain users can view the file.
There are encryption tools available for purchase. There is also some built-in APIs for encrypting.
Here are some resources to look into:
Scenario: Key Management and File Encryption Using the Cryptographic Services APIs
The Next Step in Security
A Simple Encryption/Decryption Algorithm for Numbers
Cryptographic Services APIs
Most of these articles deal with encrypting data in a table, but the concepts should help you encrypt a file on the IFS.
Or you could simply encrypt the file from a Windows box with ccrypt or TrueCrypt (perhaps not what you are looking for). Both are free. As is GnuPG which has a windows port and is probably the best of the bunch.
Don't forget that iSeries with PASE can run many AIX programs as is.
ccrypt for AIX could almost definitely be made to run on the iSeries and be called from QSH. And similarly for GnuPG for AIX; it could be run on the iSeries itself.
There is PkZIP for the iSeries which can provide encryption.
You could also 'roll your own' encryption using Java Cryptography.
We are currently using Arpeggio, which is free. We used to use PKZip, but were able to replace that tool with the free Arpeggio software. Seems to work well
You can set the authority to the file so only users in one group have access to it. I think its option 9 I don't have access to a iseries at this moment.
You can pull a port of GnuPG from Scott Klement's website at : https://www.scottklement.com/gnupg/. We have been using it without issue for years.
A lot has changed since this question was asked! IBM i now has extensive support for open source software in PASE. Several of the other answers here mention packages that IBM now provides for no cost as RPMs, easily installable via yum (or the Access Client Solutions GUI, which includes a graphical front-end for yum). Here is just a sampling of IBM-packaged tools you could use for encryption of IFS files:
GnuPG
p7zip (POSIX version of 7-Zip, compatible with and mostly superior to PKZIP)
Python, Node.js, and other programming languages, with access to various encryption libraries
Note that the RPM-based packaging is only supported on IBM i 7.2 and above. (Some people have been able to get it working on 7.1, but this requires the right combination of PTFs and know-how.)
For those on older (and by now, far out of support) versions of IBM i and its predecessors, you may be able to use Scott Klement's ports of GnuPG and p7zip, or Per Gummedal's iSeriesPython.
