  Seems fine, but where is the path data?

  CollEc generates path data. As long as your system does does not produce
  path data, it is not a replacement for the existing CollEc.

  Then it does not work. The issue had nothing to do with permissions,
  but with the fact that remi at aigtu was completely broken. That is
  fixed.

  I doubt it. If the data does not update the problem is that aigtu
  does not have an up-to-date copy of RePEc:per.

  Collec2 is no good. What about app.collec? It will become
  collec.repec.org when it can replace the functionality. I'm much
  looking forward to that as the current calculations block
  helos for any other talks. 

  We need to move this to helos. There you will have more computing power.

Contact <a href="http://www.christian-dueben.com">Christian Düben</a> regarding the application's public release.". The new CollEc already links to GraphEc and I think that a placeholder page with a short informative text would look nicer than the Apache2 Debian default page.

  I suggest that if graphec is not available, you should not link to it.

  When helos was installed, debian had no controller for its NIC. Thus
  it's an ubuntu machine. Will that be a problem? I could reinstall
  helos, but I don't have disk space to at least temporarily store the
  data it houses now.

  Generally, my machines are running full. We are short of disk space.
  It has been difficult to get further resources because of the
  crisis.
