JANES - navigate open source intelligence DESCRIPTION JANES was created primarily to organize records pertaining to hundreds of military aircraft (though this is by no means its only conceivable use). The app extends werc's normal functionality by dynamically constructing an "index" page from arbitrary files found within the indicated directory. The components and layout used to build said page are specified by a configuration file, described below. Likewise, sub-directories that are meant to be ignored are specified in a separate file. The most obvious benefit of these features is to simplify the programmatic creation, updating and presentation of large sets of similarly structured data. To enable JANES, add: conf_enable_janes to _werc/config in the site root or appropriate sub-directory. To configure JANES, copy or create the following files in _werc/janes/, either in the site root or in the sub-directory you wish to activate (example files have been included in this distribution): layout A list of files and headings that appear on the resulting page, in order, from top to bottom. The first field of each line corresponds to the name of a file containing infor- mation that will appear under the heading. The second field is a text string that will appear as the heading itself. Spaces are considered invalid; underscores in the second field will be replaced with spaces when rendered on the page. skipdirs A list of directories JANES will not attempt to process. An example is the directory img/, which on the JANES DEVELOPMENT SITE is instead processed by yiyus' image gallery app, SMAK. Skipdirs are presented as links at the top of each JANES page. If the directory img/_werc/smak/thumb/ exists, the first file in that directory will be displayed as an inline image at the top of the page. In normal directories, files containing lines that begin with the string http:// will be rendered as HTML links to the given URL, one link per line.
