= Gnowsis Installer = at the moment, during gnowsis installation some things happen and more should happen. During installation the following things happen: * Gnowsis basic is installed * all gnowsis packages are installed (even if they are not needed) * a wizard helps with the system detection * ask the user if the machine name is correct (extract it first from the net). * ask email address. The email address is used to identify many personal resources. * ask jabber name. If the user has a jabber name, it is used to identify all concepts, outlook entries, etc. (not the machine name) * check all adapters - see if datasources can be made for them * the mywikitology is initiated (using the user-identifyer) * the search engine starts crawling (with some gui to show progress) = Gnowsis starts learning = '''After''' the installation, gnowsis begins filling itself. The user gets an already preconfigured system instead of an empty one, a better entry point for the user. * the ApertureConfigurationService helps finding datasources * the ThingCreationService helps creating things == Importing of People == Gnowsis asks you for your address book (where is it, did you already have a datasource for it, etc) * make or identify the datasource for addressbook * create people from addressbook If you have a flickr account, also do this: * ask for your flickr account * create people from flickr friends If you have a foaf-file, you can also integrate it: * asks for your foaf file * draws some first lines e.g. the people you know, etc. Combines the people from address book with people from foaf file (smushing/identing in PIMO) == Importing of Projects == * asks if you have a folder that contains many "projects". * asks to conntect it to the class pimo:Project and create an ActiveFolder from it. * creates pimo:Project instances by looking at subfolders and sub-files. == Importing more == Importing is also possible from From "tags"-websites as suggested in ThingCreationService == Show off == Gnowsis then shows you your PIMO and you can start relating people to projects and find your stuff in a better way. '''Tag, seek and you will find! (gnowsis, 2006)''' All this would gives the user a first impression of what Gnowsis is all about and help to avoid the alreade known "empty system" problem.
