The goals of the Glean project are:
- to provide a highly personal learning environment;
- that is nonetheless capable to build on collaborative content contributions;
- which provides the means to build hierarchies of content;
- that is deployable in different ways (web service, self-hosted, single executable…);
- to provide as core content modules that allow users to grok their GNU system and the core GNU components.
Glean 0.1 must very much be considered a technology preview, and highly experimental. Whilst it is possible to use this version to create basic disciplines, and to practise these, I make no guarantees for backward compatibility of either your progress or the discipline format for version 0.2.
To avoid disappointment I would recommend waiting for 0.2. If you feel adventurous — please go ahead and contact me if you run into trouble!
Glean currently depends on the following packages:
- GNU Guile 2.0.x, version 2.0.5 or later
- GNU libgcrypt
See the manual for the installation instructions, either by running
