Excellent :) It is quite a change from the distributed approach you've taken so far. > We tend to export mostly in RDF format with geo namespaces; is this > likely to be useful?

RDF sounds fine (XML format), what about the return path, say you've got WhereAmI (my app) on your phone, you've identified your location with GPS or GSM CellID, downloaded the map around you, listed the openguides locations, picked your pub for lunch, routed to it, had a meal, but found an error in the guide, what is the desired return path? Would it make sense to have a 'comment' option where you just describe the change to the entry, then next time someone on the web views that article they see the suggestion, and can edit the article according to the suggestion, this would then archive the comment. Or we could go for allowing editing of the entire article on the phone and then upload the new version. I presume that with your distributed architecture you have independant user accounts on each site, what about supporting openid? or something else? to let remote users authenticate their changes. Cheers, Adam.

Winter hackfest?
by Dominic Hargreaves 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Since we didn't manage the second summer hackfest, how about an winter one? For me this would have to be next year; the rest of this year (weekends) are basically full up. Venue yet to be determined, format to be about the same as the previous one. If you're interested in coming, visit Meetomatic and tell me when (you can put in the comments whether you have a preferred location - likely to be London or Oxford) http://www.meetomatic.com/respond.php?id=BFMEDF Cheers, Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

This is something we've been planning for a while now, but it requires quite a lot of infrastructure which we don't currently have, so I'm not sure I can say much yet :( We're having a hackfest some time in the new year, though, and I will try and make this a priority, as a single point of entry/search for OpenGuides is indeed quite important. We tend to export mostly in RDF format with geo namespaces; is this likely to be useful? (see the RDF format search on one of the existing guides for an example).
