Recipe

  1. Set up a repository file
  2. Set up configuration file
  3. Make launch URL


Repository file format

The repository file is a tab-delimited file where each column has a special meaning. These should be one row per session, i.e. per data set.

  1. repository identifier
  2. display name for session, should be reasonably short and informative people
  3. display image for session, this should be a URL
  4. description text for individual session, this can be html code.
  5. url to the session file.

An example row could be:
