Since Softbank Robotics Store Closed, how can I add additional language to Pepper? - pepper

Previously, languages are supported and installable via 'Store' page.
Softbank Robotics closed the community and store page (store shows 503 error.).
Is there any way to download and install additional language?

The new SoftBank store is available at https://command-center.softbankrobotics.com/. Although not well documented, the language packs seem to be available there. First, the access needs to be approved by the support.

For NAOqi 2.8 and earlier, there is still this store, but I do not know how limited it is.

Is it possible to use latest OWASP CRS rules in CloudArmor

CloudArmor appears to use OWASP CRS 3.0.1 rules which are now pretty dated (last update around 4 years ago). CRS is now on V3.3 and V3.4 is in development.
Is there a way to take the new rules from coreruleset Github Repo and import into CloudArmor? Does Google have plans to update to the newer set by default?
Main driver is that some of the rules are very dated or unworkable. For example scanner detection triggers on "python-requests" as a User-Agent and this is no longer checked for in latest V3.3 ruleset.
If this has not been solved yet: I think Google does not give you the chance to pick for yourself.
Also, it's a commercial support question that should probably be directed there.

How to rename Liferay's default cookies?

I have JSP project which uses Liferay framework. There are default Liferay cookies named COOKIE_SUPPORT and GUEST_LANGUAGE_ID in Liferay. I dont want hackers to view any of my technology information by any means. How can I rename these cookie?
If you want to protect the framework you're using, you won't have to worry about the names of the cookies. Worry about server identification, elements of the DOM, structure and mechanics of URLs, secure&hardened setup of your server, common translations, default content, standard error messages, etc.
In other words: If you don't want to give away, which standard framework you're using (and this is not limited to Liferay) you'll have to roll your own. Good luck with getting this as powerful and as well tested as any standard framework.
Rather worry about keeping your systems updated all the time and protect from well known vulnerabilities in older systems. For hardening Liferay specifically, you might want to start with my blog series on securing Liferay (linking chapter 1 which refers to the other chapters)
Promoting a comment into this answer: One way to find out how to change them is to search for their names in the source code and identify the kind of plugin you need to provide different values - most likely this will be an ext-plugin. After all, Liferay's source is available. I don't see anything short of this.

Creating "OmniFocus Clippings" support for Thunderbird on Mac OS X: what tools and documentation references needed?

I want to add OmniFocus Clippings support to Thunderbird running on Mac OS X (10.6 and above). Presuming it doesn't already exist (I can't get it to work--no references on the web to it working), what tools/references do I need to complete the job? I can download and build TB ok; the pre-existing guides on how to make TB add-ons/extensions will help me there; it's the "Mac OS X Services programming" (or whatever is required to get TB to "talk" to OmniFocus via the "OmniFocus: Send to Inbox" service; see this screenshot) that I don't know how to manage. If possible, pls also include pointers to where in the TB code base I need to update.
Ultimately, I understand a "Thunderbird" entry must be shown via the OmniFocus Clippings preference dialogue window...?
I've logged a TB "bug" plus started a discussion at OmniFocus forums.
I want to update my installed TB instance as quickly as possible. I'm happy to simply hack a downloaded src code branch (from TB's mercurial or whatever) and re-apply a patch for each TB version upgrade... assuming this feature add is not cumbersome. I don't yet have any aspirations to create a full-fledged TB extension/add-on.
fwiw. I was once a professional software developer (C, C++, Java, Python and several other languages mostly on Unix/Linux, including "large system integration" projects) and am now mostly just a "business person," but I re-pickup coding if/as need be for special projects. Which I'm considering doing now.
For now I use http://www.omnigroup.com/support/omnifocus-mail-drop as a work around, but Omnifocus Clippings support for Thunderbird would be highly appreciated as it is more efficient :)

Which wiki to use after MediaWiki? [closed]

We're thinking of moving from our existing installation of MediaWiki to something more feature-rich. I'm trying to find all the pains people have with MediaWiki today (mainly it's poor handling of external documents and less-than-perfect editing capabilities - compared to Word).
We are using a wiki for design, spec, process guidelines. We have several external documents (docs, powerpoints) that we are currently putting on a shared folder and linking to from the wiki (because uploading files is not very convenient in MediaWiki).
We are trying to make the friction minimum, so that nobody will have an excuse or reason for not using it.
Some options we're considering are Confluence, Trac & Sharepoint. Money is not a big concern, only ease of use (and maintenance) and feature-fullness. What would you use?
I would plug the details of my specific feature needs into the excellent WikiMatrix choice wizard and let it make recommendations.
I would advise either
Foswiki ( http://foswiki.org ), (forked by the whole developer community of TWiki to avoid trademark threats), for a feature-rich and fully open programmer's wiki. Drop on #foswiki on irc.freenode.net to chat with the community.
Mindtouch's Deki Wiki ( http://www.mindtouch.com/ ) clearly the most user-friendly advanced and innovative wiki out there, a modern commercial + open source offering. Great integration with Office docs.
I would avoid Confluence. Confluence made a design choice (forbidding mixing html in pages with Wiki syntax) that proves deadly to any attempt at wysiwyg, as it uses a standard HTML editor for WYSIWYG, and this converts it on save in a very limited subset of it, yielding frustrating surprises for the users (foswiki for instance keeps as html the parts the wiki syntax do not handle like bullet lists in table cells). Confluence have many great sides, notably its integration with atlassian great tools as their JIRA bugtracker, (we use it at work for this with good results) but do not plan to customize it.
There are many good choices on hosted wikis too (Google sites, based on the awesome jotspot engine is one).
Never use Sharepoint of course. Its wiki capabilities are a IE-only joke, and Sharepoint whole architecture is braindead (storing all data - even huge docs - in a non-distributed database goes against Microsoft own recommendations). If you want a DMS with good Office integration, have a look at KT (Knowledge Tree) instead. http://www.knowledgetree.com/ . For political reasons we were forced to use Sharepoint at work but we limited it to basic document managing (never use the MOSS higher layer, as it breaks compatibility between versions) and integrated a foswiki frontend to it (dumped document list & metadata in xml and provided navigation in foswiki, and search with a google box)
But my real advice would be to ... wait for Google wave, that promises to revolutionize the wiki concepts.
Disclaimer: I am part of the foswiki community.
Before you move away from Mediawiki I would urge you to consider the many extensions available. IMO there arent many wikis that offer more features that MW, especially when you consider the number of extensions. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions
For example, for editing there are browser based editors similar to Word. And there even macros for Word that allow you to export from MS Word to your Wiki, from within Word.
Also, check out the Semantic Mediawiki extensions. These give enormousness benefits in the area of Knowledge Management.
I would personally recommend against moving from Wiki to SharePoint. The huge problem there is SP's dreadful handling of images.
First of all I would stay away from Sharepoint. Period.
I would not consider switching to Trac either, since Trac has special focus on issue tracking, and poor support for external documents.
I would consider switching to Confluence, since:
Money is not an issue (as you said)
You want to minimise maintanance work (as you said)
You want to use wiki to handle external documents (as you said)
I'm typically a strong advocate of open source technology, but with the requirements you gave, I just don't think they would make you happy. For instance if you had personnel available for maintaining and providing customisations to your system, I would definitely suggest trying out Foswiki, which also would otherwise fit your needs very nicely. However, if you really want to stay away from any extra maintance work, Foswiki is not a good option.
I work on Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware and I'll share a few links. This question comes up quite a bit so we have a dedicated page: http://tiki.org/Tiki+vs+MediaWiki
We're thinking of moving from our existing installation of MediaWiki
Tiki & MediaWiki are both PHP/MySQL so you can use the same server.
Tiki has a built-in importer: http://doc.tiki.org/MediaWiki+importer
to something more feature-rich.
Tiki is the http://tiki.org/FOSS+Web+Application+with+the+most+built-in+features
We are using a wiki for design, spec, process guidelines. We have several external documents (docs, powerpoints) that we are currently putting on a shared folder and linking to from the wiki (because uploading files is not very convenient in MediaWiki). We are trying to make the friction minimum, so that nobody will have an excuse or reason for not using it.
http://doc.tiki.org/WYSIWYG
http://doc.tiki.org/File+Gallery (instead of your shared folder)
http://doc.tiki.org/Docs (web-based ODFs)
http://doc.tiki.org/Spreadsheet (web-based)
http://doc.tiki.org/Slideshow (web-based)
http://doc.tiki.org/Draw (web-based)
Some options we're considering are Confluence, Trac & Sharepoint. Money is not a big concern, only ease of use (and maintenance) and feature-fullness. What would you use?
Tiki is Free/Open Source. But if you have money burning your pockets :-)

You can also hire a consultant to provide training/support and to accelerate the implementation and/or sponsor feature development
http://info.tiki.org/Consultants
Have you considered sharing your Word documents with Google Docs? It has revision control and collaboration features like a wiki, as well as a rich text editor that can import and export plenty of formats.
It sounds like TWiki would be a great option for you as well. I haven't used it myself, but it also has a rich text editor, as well as tons of enterprisey project management features in it.
A lot of people seem to like Confluence. I personally don't know it. If you are not already at it and you want something feature-rich than xwiki could be something for you.
I'd add FCK Editor for WYSIWYG, get a decent document management system to run alongside the wiki and carry on with MediaWiki!

Is OpenBD or Railo a viable replacement for ColdFusion?

Has anyone here had any experience with running OpenBD or Railo in production? We have some legacy CF6.1 apps that need to be hosted somewhere and I'm wondering if OpenBD or Railo is stable enough for production use, won't require a great deal effort to migrate to, etc.
I'll chime in as the 'Adobe' guy and say that yes, both OpenBD and Railo are viable CFML engines. The main hurdles are around CFML compatibility. For the last decade Allaire/Macomedia/Adobe has been driving the CFML standard, but we've formed an open CFML Advisory board made up of various experts in the field to help drive the future of the language.
Today it seems that ColdFusion 7 is the foundational standard. From there the CFML standard seems to splinter between vendors. ColdFusion 8 added a number of exclusive features that haven't been added to the other engines and vice-versa with Railo and OpenBD. In the future, the CFML Advisory should solve this problem.
Using ColdFusion as the standard, I find the following two link to be the best places to understand the compatibility differences.
OpenBD Compatibility
Railo Compatability
Here is the url for the CFML Advisory group. They just started the site so there isn't too much info up there yet.
OpenCFML.org
The CFML compatibility in Railo is a major focus for us. If there are things in Railo that aren't compatible with Adobe CF, then please let us know about them and then we'll try to fix them asap. We are of course trying to get all the requirements of the CFML Advisory Committee implemented in Railo 3.1.x so that we can call ourselves CFML 2009 compatible.
AFAIK an engine should implement the core and the extended core to be called CFML 2009 compatible, but I guess the Advisory Committee hasn't agreed on this. In fact the vendors (like we are) should obey these standards and implement them accordingly.
If of course you experience any problems, just let the Railo Google group know or contact us at www.getrailo.com

Railo Professional Open Source
Both are on par with CFMX 7 compatability so you shouldn't have any problems migrating a cf6.1 site to either.
Be for warned through that OpenBD DOES NOT support the CFDOCUMENT tag so PDF generation is going to be a problem. Railo on the other hand does.
Railo has an express version, which doesn't require an install and makes it real easy to see if an existing application works with it or not.
OpenBD also has a download and ready to run version, though I haven't tried it out, it should be as easy to setup as the Railo Express version.
It seems that there is project started for OpenBD to integrate the Flying Saucer project as a replacement for CFDOCUMENT support. More can be found here about this.
Absolutely! Both are enterprise class solutions and shouldn't pose too many problems. As rip747 mentions there are copies you can download to quickly test your applications compatibility.
As for performance it's generally believed that Railo is the fastest of the three engines while BlueDragon is the slowest. Although it's not currently in production I'm developing an application against Railo 3.0 and intend to deploy to Railo 3.1 once it's released.
Support for cfdocument will be included in the next "major" versioned release of OpenBD.
Just to give folks a bit of background on cfdocument support in OpenBD, a commercial library was used for cfdocument in New Atlanta BlueDragon, so that had to be removed when OpenBD went open source. The "hooks" are still in the OpenBD engine, however, so it's really just a matter of implementing the underlying functionality using an open source document engine, of which there are many.
I think replacedirect.nl recently migrated their webshop to railo.
Railo virtually has no documentation. It does not seem to be a priority for the core team, they have not managed the Railo open source project well. It is a case of lost momentum due to incompetency.
Railo is quite difficult to deploy on account of very weak documentation and consequently cannot be taken seriously. Furthermore the tag and function tags are empty when you scroll down to usage examples. This open source project and the team running it are a joke, completely out of touch with the recurrinfg complaints of install/config difficulties over the past 2 years.
Stick with Adobe Coldfusion which has good documentation or switch to another language.
Rob, mind if I try to solve your problem by providing a different solution than your question asks?
In that you mention an interest in hosting, just keep in mind that if you mean shared hosting, then you don't need to worry about the cost of the CFML engine. That will be born by the hosting provider, and amortized over the folks on the server. As such, you will find many low- (and even no-) cost CF hosting providers running on Adobe CF (and you'll find a range of them running different versions to suit one's taste, from CF 6, 7, 8, or 9, as I write today.)
There are various lists of CF hosting providers. I offer one (and also provide pointers to still other lists) at a category of my CF411 site: http://www.cf411.com/#cfhost
