a-pam is the software developed by the "a-pam (del nas)" project as a browser which explores the WWW and builds a disorientation map of its exploration emphasising the local viewpoint

a-pam is software which currently operates over a server based on PHP, MySQL, Java and javaScript

a-pam is free software

a-pam is not a closed project; it continues to develop. We aim for it to be a community development project

objectives
···

Immediate objectives

ˇ Complete some details of the proto011 prototype to make the defintive version 0.0.1

ˇ Correct any possible errors in the a-pam version 0.0.1 in order to achieve an a-pam version 0.0.2 with the maximum stability possible

 

Short-term objectives

ˇ Identify and correct possible errors in many different visited pages

· Keep the number of data base nodes within a limited ranged, deleting reagulary older and less visited nodes.

ˇ Make a version of a-pam for individual sessions initiated by each user

ˇ Show the names of users connected to the collective session

ˇ Graphically differentiate the non-visited nodes from those that have been visited and the nodes that have disappeared (404) or that contain no legible HTML.

ˇ Modify the upload (spiders) button to choose a node with a different domain name from current page (to scape from high internal linked sites)

Other non-priority aims

ˇ Create a version of a-pam which only functions on the local computer, with no server (based solely on Java/javaScript)

ˇ Create a version of the client application based on SVG instead of Java

ˇ Be available a user control of growth limits of data base.
