You may have noticed that the openguides.org mailing lists have been broken for at least a week. This is now fixed, but any messages that you sent and didn't see come back to you have been *lost*, so please re-send them. I'm very sorry about this. Kake

[OpenGuides-Dev] Fwd: Wikitravel and OpenGuides
by Earle Martin 09 Nov '03

This is interesting! Can anyone think of a way that we can do some kind of cross-linking with them? It seems to be a complimentary project. ----- Forwarded message from evan(a)wikitravel.org ----- Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2003 14:08:06 -0800 From: [ snip ](a)wikitravel.org To: [ snip ](a)openguides.org Subject: Wikitravel and OpenGuides Hey, folks. My name is Evan Prodromou, and I'm one of the two founders of Wikitravel. http://www.wikitravel.org/ Wikitravel is a project to create a free (copyleft), complete, up-to-date and reliable world wide travel guide. It's a Wiki, like OpenGuides, so everything is edited and created and illustrated and such by users just drifting in off the Internet. A friend pointed me to the OpenGuides site, and I have to say I like it. I think there's some overlap in what we're covering, but I'm not sure how much. You don't seem as similar as, say, CapitanCook. Anyways, I wanted to say "hi". I don't know crappo about Oxford or Birmingham, so I don't think I have a lot to contribute, but I just figured I'd send a ping. Good luck, ~ESP ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

[OpenGuides-Dev] New OpenGuides installs
by Kate L Pugh 08 Nov '03

08 Nov '03

Just so I get this out there before I forget. Tom and I had a brief chat about new OpenGuides installs at the London.pm social meeting on Thursday night. Tom, correct me if I'm misrepresenting you. Tom thinks that it should be incredibly easy to create a new OpenGuides install for a new city. I think there should be a deliberate small hurdle to cross before Earle or I agree to create a new guide hosted at openguides.org. Here's my reasoning. An empty-ish guide with out of date information looks lame. This makes people think OpenGuides is lame. I am not sure that a new OpenGuide with fewer than - say - four regular contributors is going to do anything but languish and die. I'd like to know what other people think about this issue. Kake

[OpenGuides-Dev] SuperSearch documentation, generic OG site
by Ivor Williams 08 Nov '03

Folks, I'm glad that OG 0.28 is live in London and a few places, as it has given me a chance to update the documentation on the new search syntax with real examples :). Please give me feedback on this new syntax. I also notice that the "Instructions" link on the supersearch page always links back to the London guide. Is this a good thing? At least we can guarantee that the examples will work ;). An alternative would be to have a page on the generic openguides.org site... which leads me on to how we can keep pages on here up to date. Could we make this a wiki? Perhaps a wiki with restricted access to edit. CGI::Wiki::Simple? Also, we could do with a repository for templates, style sheets, plugins, etc. so that OG sites can download, upload and share them. My thoughts for the day. By the way, I've also changed the NOT search to use '-' instead of '!' acting on feedback from a couple of people at Thursday's London.pm. This will be in 0.29, and I will add it to the search instructions when 0.29 is live. In the mean time, I have been keeping the SuperSearch.pm POD in line with the syntax changes. Ivor.
