[PageOneX] [dev] New PageOneX release with new feature: edit areas, fork threads, multi taxonomy and more

[pablo rey]

Dear Pageonexers,

After a while we are glad to announce brand new features in PageOneX.

Read our last post
<https://blog.pageonex.com/2019/05/14/brand-new-features-edit-areas-fork-threads-multi-taxonomy/>
and spread the word with this tweet
<https://twitter.com/numeroteca/status/1126411475151667200>.Thanks to all
involved!

We are now working in the deployment process
<https://github.com/montera34/pageonex/issues/230> and there are a
bunch of open
issues waiting to be solved <https://github.com/montera34/pageonex/issues>.
Join us, we need help!

*Brand new features: edit areas, fork threads, multi taxonomy!
<https://blog.pageonex.com/2019/05/14/brand-new-features-edit-areas-fork-threads-multi-taxonomy/>*

We developed these features last summer
<https://github.com/montera34/pageonex/projects/1>, but until now they have
not been available in the hosted version at pageonex.com. We worked with
Juanjo Bazán (@xuanxu <https://twitter.com/xuanxu>) in this.
Export a thread in raw format

Rebuilding the thread in R it is now possible. It also works for multiple
newspapers. Here a cleaner version. Compare it with the thread in @PageOneX
<https://twitter.com/PageOneX?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw> website. You can do it
downloading Raw Areas Data json. R code available: https://t.co/4bVMRMbRws

Until now you could export the percentage of coverage per day and paper in
json and spreadsheet, now there is an extra feature that allows you to
export the raw data: the extact location of every area and all its
classifications (read following feature). We are starting a new project
pageonexR <https://code.montera34.com/numeroteca/pageonexR> that allows you
to import your threads to R and analyse their data.
Classify by multiple taxonomies

This new feature would add the capability to add extra information to drawn
areas. A highlighted area could have multiple taxonomies and open fields.

Until this new release you could only classify each area with one taxonomy.
For example, an area could be categorized as “International coveragae” but
not as “International  coverage” AND “Nigeria” AND “positive framing”. Now
you can do it . This feature is only available for certain users. If you
want to use it write a comment to this post
<https://blog.pageonex.com/?p=652>. We are studying how to make this
available for all the users.
Fork a thread

You like another’s user thread: you can clone and edit it.
Edit and remove areas

Before you had to erase all the areas in a front page to remove one. Now
you can remove them separately and re-classify them.
------------------------------

Another great thing is the new containerized versions of PageOneX. Rafa
Porres (@walter_burns <https://twitter.com/walter_burns>) developed it and
Rahul Bhargava  (@rahulbot <https://twitter.com/rahulbot>) deployed it at
Civic media server. Thanks for your support!!
Containerized versions, make your own deployment

Pageonex is an open-source project. Thanks to Rafa Porres (@walter_burns
<https://twitter.com/walter_burns>) we have PageOneX ready to use in a
docker container. In fact, the new containerized version is what we are
using now in the production version at pageonex.com. If you don’t want to
use the hosted version of pageonex at http://pageonex.com you have a few
options to run it yourself. Read our documentation and choose the best
option for you. We hope this helps other developers help extending the
features of PageOneX.

   - You can run pageonex locally using docker-compose and our generated
   images
   <https://github.com/montera34/pageonex/blob/master/doc/docker/running-pageonex-locally-with-docker-compose.md>.
   This is the easiest way.
   - You can run pageonex locally using docker-compose and building locally
   the docker images
   <https://github.com/montera34/pageonex/blob/master/doc/docker/development-with-docker-compose.md>.
   This is recommended if you want to do some development.
   - You can install pageonex locally compiling in your system all the
   needed files
   <https://github.com/montera34/pageonex/blob/master/doc/local-install.md>.
   This option is more advanced and it is only recommended if you’re doing
   heavy development.
   - You can use our Docker images to deploy pageonex against your mysql
   database
   <https://github.com/montera34/pageonex/blob/master/doc/docker/running-pageonex-in-your-environment.md>.
   This is an advanced setup that it is useful if you’re planning to maintain
   your own pageonex production environment.
