As with proprietary
systems, it is
important that the system is very easy to install, without the user
having to have any advanced computer training. The system, user
interface and applications, together with all the information, must
be included in one single CD if possible and must be extremely easy
to install, even for someone without computer training.
The preparation of the
“package” includes the selection of the software that is used (not
only last versions of the translated components, but also of other
technical pieces of software and utilities that are used by the
system, many of them are transparent for the user), including
setting up parameters such as default language, etc.
The
package must include an installation program that –with instructions
in Khmer- will install the software in the user’s computer with the
least possible human intervention, and offering the least possible
number of options at installation time (options that are not
extremely clear to a new user should not be included in the
installation, but maybe in a post-installation configuration
package).
The package CD will be
extensively tested before it is released.
The first 5.000
installation CDs will be manufactured within this project, which
will also establish the mechanisms through which new versions will
be manufactured and packaged, preferably through collaboration
between private Cambodian software companies and the university.
The
project will also take charge of printing the first 1.000 copies of
all the documentation translated into Khmer, and produce documentation
in the necessary format for including it in the CD as well as
posting in the web.
