Important background

• The most recent version of Sahana is Sahana-Eden
• Main site: http://sahanafoundation.org; Can go to eden.sahanafoundation.org for just the Eden project
• The correct IRC channel is on freenode Sahana-eden. In Chatzilla, the channel owners are a slightly different color (could be slightly different green). http://wiki.sahanafoundation.org/doku.php/community:chat
• Google group is Sahana-Eden, https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/sahana-eden

Questions

1. What's the difference between Sahana and Sahana-Eden?
2. How do we install this thing?

We're thinking the best practice would be to first do the user installation to make sure we can. Then, do the developer installation and see if you can build it.

• <What we did>

1. Click on Developer --> Click on Windows --> "InstallationGuidelines/Windows/Developer/Installer" (first choice). #Takes you to http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/InstallationGuidelines/Windows/Developer/Installer.
2. NOW, select the .exe file
3. To setup in Eclipse: http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/DeveloperGuidelines/Eclipse

• <Did not try> The User Installation: http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/InstallationGuidelines. TIP: There is a document called 'Sahana Eden Essential Guide' at http://en.flossmanuals.net/sahana-eden/installation/ relates to user installation as well.
• <WRONG PATH> The Developer Installation: http://sahanafoundation.org/community/developers. From here, we can get the project from Github. The specifics on this are here http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/DeveloperGuidelines/Git. Observation: Under "Fork a Fresh Repository", question #2 mentions Linux and Windows instructions but not Mac.

Plans moving forward
