[CollEc] RePEc Visual

[Düben, Christian]

Yes, I noticed GraphEc's pun on graphic content. Let us set GraphEc as the current title then. I see that you like it and I am personally more focused on the app's content right now.

I see that I do not have the access rights to install anything on darni. Could you, therefore, install Java, Docker and ShinyProxy as explained on this website: https://www.shinyproxy.io/getting-started/? To run CollEc on that server I would also need access to a database within the installed MariaDB.

  GraphEc would be more in keeping with the traditional two-syllable
  structure, and be more funny as a name, since graphic has a somewhat
  sensationalist overtone. The idea off a "graphic description" invoques
  ideas that it deals with sex and crime.

  Sure.

  No worries I can set this up for you.

  All names are in the openlib.org domain.

krichel at trabbi~$ host darni
darni.openlib.org has address 95.216.35.87 darni.openlib.org has IPv6 address 2a01:4f9:2a:23a8::2

  grapfec, grafec, and visuec, all .repec.org, now
  point to darni.
