Online HelpDesk@SPACE

Space has launched an online help desk for addressing technical issues in Debian GNU/Linux based systems. All the common problems are listed in the FAQ section. The site, http://support.space-kerala.org is open to all for viewing, but posting queries is permitted only for registered users. Presently, we are giving registration and support to all IT@School Master Trainers and VMEs interested in using/promoting Free Software. All the queries posted will be periodically added to the FAQ section for public viewing. Registration will be made open to all after the necessary infrastructure is set up.

This tutorial will demonstrate the KnowledgeTree web service php object model.

The KnowledgeTree Web Service object model, often refered to as KTWSAPI can be ported to different languages, so this documentation can be used similarly in those environments.
