MePPS Terms of Reference

Moldovan electronic Public Procurement System

Terms of Reference

Philosophy

Three founding blocks of the MePPS include:

1. Hybrid electronic system based on an open-source model.
2. "Everyone eyes everything" principle.
3. Golden triangle of partnership - a unique form of collaboration between business, state and civil society where functions are split between different stakeholders to ensure independence and mutual control.

Documentation

MePPS is built upon OpenProcurement, an initiative aimed at developing software powering tenders database and reverse auction.

'openprocurement.api' is a component responsible for exposing the tenders database to brokers and public.

Building documentation

Use the following commands to build documentation from docs/source into docs/html:

python bootstrap.py -c docs.cfg
bin/buildout -N -c docs.cfg
bin/docs 

To have the documentation translated into 2 letter ISO language code, you have to follow the scenario below:

1. Pull all the translatable strings out of the documentation:

(cd docs/_build; make gettext)
      

2. Update translation with new/changed strings::

bin/sphinx-intl update -c docs/source/conf.py -p docs/_build/locale -l <lang>
 

3. Update updated/missing strings in docs/source/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/*.po with your-favorite-editor/poedit/transifex/pootle/etc. to have all translations complete/updated.

4. Compile the translation:

bin/sphinx-intl build -c docs/source/conf.py
  

5. Build translated documentation(s):

(cd docs/_build; make -e SPHINXOPTS="-D language='uk'" html)
