DiscoverEd Quickstart

Check out and build the source code

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/discovered/repo.git discovered
$ cd discovered
$ ant

Add a curator and a feed

DiscoverEd uses feeds to help identify resources to crawl. Feeds are provided by curators, who can also provide metadata about resources.

$ ./bin/feeds addcurator "ND OCW" http://ocw.nd.edu/ 
$ ./bin/feeds addfeed rss http://ocw.nd.edu/front-page/courselist/rss http://ocw.nd.edu/

Aggregate and crawl resources

$ ./bin/feeds aggregate
$ mkdir seed
$ ./bin/feeds seed > seed/urls.txt
$ ant -f dedbuild.xml crawl
