I'm developing a statistically based translation tool to help in haiti, it's a non-profit type thing and free/opensource. (i'm with crisiscommons.)
I could really use some advice on how to protect my system from breakage (along with the webspace that i'm paying for out of my own pocket - trust me this is altruism not to make a buck, the code is going to be freely available).
the system will take a sentence in english or haitian and translate it into english or haitian.
again, i've little experience on how to protect the system. it uses a C/C++ backend engine to do the statistical translation via-vis python.
any help or assistance would be appreciated. i'm getting ready to deploy my project this weekend and could use some last minute advice.
also i could use some advice on how to run this on my linux vm-instance. i have made a user to execute the code in nohup mode. i'm not 100% sure how to run the system as a daemon (i'm using cherrypy for the website piece). any sysadmin tips would be appreciated.
