FFP-Project: FLOSS-Browser based on  Wikidata

=============================================

A Yesod web app display and filter Free, Libre and Open Source Software

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two separate components: the backend wich queries Wikidata and saves

the information in a local SQL-Database and Yesod-based Web-Frontend displaying

the data from the SQL-Database. While the Frontend is intended to run as a

service, the backend is planed to be started regularly by a cronjob.

The service is already deployed at:

    https://tools.wmflabs.org/flossbrowser

### Dependencies

    The following haskell-packages are needed for compilation:

      yesod

      yesod-static

      yesod-persistent

      persistent-sqlite

      persistent-mysql-haskell

      esqueleto

      http-client

      http-client-tls

      network-uri

      configurator

    You can install them with cabal or your package-manager.

### Compilation

    Change into the `src` folder and run `make`.

### Run

    First create the backend database by running `./CreateDB`.

    In case that a network error occurs, wikidata might be busy or slow.

    Simply run the program again a few seconds later.

    Afterwards run `./Browser` and visit the website on `127.0.0.1:3000`.

    The port can be changed in `flossrc`.
