Category_Locales
by Thomas Klausner 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

Hi! I'm currently working on bringing vienna.openguides.org back to life (for YAPC::Europe, among other things...). Thanks to Kake and Bob for their support... Now, I've got a small problem: This page http://vienna.openguides.org/wiki.cgi?Category_Locales doesn't seem to work right when compared to eg this page http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Category_Locales I'm missing the "View all pages in Category Locales" link. Was there a problem during the import of the old data, or did I damage something? Thanks! -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.plix.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}

Round-up from Summer 2007 Hackfest
by Dominic Hargreaves 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hello, I write from the train back to Oxford towards the end of the second day of our hackfest, and I'm very excited about what we've achieved. It probably doesn't look like much from the casual observer, since it's been entirely been unglamarous bugfixing, rather than enhancements, but I believe we've gone a long way towards escaping from the endless stream of dull bugs to fix. Aside from the obvious benefit of having fewer bugs, being able to clear the air (and the bugtracking system) will allow us to refocus on further development. What we've done is looked at every single outstanding bug (defect in trac parlance) in OpenGuides and discussed what needs to happen with it around the table, and commented on the ticket. With a few exceptions, we've then assigned the bug to someone with an agreed path towards fixing the bug. Some of those bugs have now been resolved, and some of them are still pending fixes. You can see the latter at http://dev.openguides.org/report/13 and http://www.wiki-toolkit.org/report/9 We hope to repeat the hackfest sometime before YAPC::Europe, with a view to ironing out any remaining bugs, and reviewing all the many enhancement requests (you can see those at http://dev.openguides.org/report/12 ). Stay tuned for more details about the next hackfest. Thanks must go to Kake for organising and hosting the hackfest. The format seemed to work really well and we managed to stay "on-topic" (bugfixing). Thanks also to those new faces who've helped bring a fresh outlook to the project (andrewb, ilmari, pfig, and klur) and of course to everyone else, for their contributions. I plan to make a new release of OpenGuides (and probably Wiki::Toolkit) in around a week's time, to push out all the fixes. I'll prod people who have assigned tickets at that stage, so that I don't miss out any work that is soon to appear. http://www.wiki-toolkit.org/report/9 That's all for now, as my interchange station is fast approaching and there's still nearly a whole cup of tea to drink. All the best, Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

Bug #222 -- Node Image Metadata
by Chris Prather 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hi, Kake and I were discussing node_image data on IRC and it led to her submitting bug #222 (http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/222). Basically the Node image isn't really metadata and having it included in the vcard div makes for ugly layout. So I've moved it out to live next to the Map link (which in my mind is a similar concept and visually looks appealing). I have attached patches to the relevant templates in the bug. Now that the work is done, the question is ... is this the right way? Anybody else have an opinion? -Chris

OpenGuides Plug in Talis Podcast
by Tom Heath 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi folks, Thought you might like to know that I managed to get a good plug in for the OpenGuides and the OG RDF support in this podcast with Talis I did yesterday: http://talk.talis.com/archives/2007/06/tom_heath_talks.html Of course the whole thing is riveting ;) but if you just want to hear the OG bit then it comes up at about 56m50sec. Seriously though, if you're wondering why the OGs bother to expose RDF, and what benefits this (and the wider web of data) can bring, then you may find the rest of the podcast interesting. A discussion of web2.0-style APIs compared to RDF starts around 28m40s. Tom.

Wiki formatting in website field
by Kake L Pugh 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

(Note: This email is long but there's an important question for guide admins in the middle.) An issue that came up today while we were going through the tickets is that at the moment, people can (and do) put wiki formatting into the "website" field on the edit form, specifically the square bracket external link format. We're undecided about whether this should be supported or not, so I volunteered to post to the list and ask for opinions. Arguments for continuing to support it: * Existing guides may already have a substantial amount of website data in this format, and if we stop supporting it then the admins will have to go through and change it all. * It gives people an easy way to specify some text to be used as the link, in the cases where the URL is long. Arguments against: * It's wrong, semantically. That piece of metadata should contain a URL, not a snippet of wikitext. * It means we have to munge the data every time we want to emit website metadata (e.g. in RDF). Dom would definitely like to stop supporting this, and I mostly agree with him. In order to do this we need two things. First of all, we need to know if this would cause a substantial amount of hassle for people. I know that RGL makes heavy use of the square bracket syntax in the website field, but I'm OK with sorting that out. Will this be an issue for anyone else? We'd also need an alternative way of deciding on the link text for long URLs. Possibilities: * Another metadata field (downside: the edit form is already pretty full) * Fixed text defined by us, e.g. "Home page of this place" (downside: not sure it's possible to come up with something suitable that everyone will like) * Some method of generating link text from the URL. Dom suggested just using the domain name, so e.g. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/AMR.html would display as Website: [www.nationalrail.co.uk] or maybe Website: [nationalrail.co.uk] Thoughts?

Fwd: [openguides-commits] r1059 - in trunk: . lib/OpenGuides t templates
by Earle Martin 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hola, Just saw this go through: --- Begin quote --- Author: ilmari Date: 2007-06-10 16:31:06 +0100 (Sun, 10 Jun 2007) New Revision: 1059 Modified: trunk/Changes trunk/lib/OpenGuides/RDF.pm trunk/t/21_rdf.t trunk/templates/node_rdf.tt Log: Include <os:map_link> in node RDF (fixes #26) --- End quote --- Sorry, I'm afraid that'll have to be reverted in its entirety, as it's incorrect. The Ordnance Survey vocabulary doesn't include a map_link property, and won't do so in the future; it's not within its remit. On the other hand I'm pleased to report that I'm partway through the first draft version of a "GeoWiki" vocabulary which will encapsulate *all* the properties we currently use. Suggestions welcome - see http://wikirdf.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?GeoWikiWorkshop . Thanks, Earle. -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.org/net/earlemartin/

Support for spam detection
by Kake L Pugh 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

Hello. Following a discussion on #openguides, I've added hooks for spam detection. The way it works is that you specify the name of a local module in your wiki.conf, and OpenGuides will check all edits against this module before agreeing to commit them. The module should provide a method called "looks_like_spam", which will be passed the content and metadata of the edit, and should return true (it's spam) or false (it's not). An example: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- package OpenGuides::Local::KakeSpamDetector; use strict; sub looks_like_spam { my ( $class, %args ) = @_; if ( $args{content} =~ /kitten/i ) { return 1; } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Obviously you'll want a more serious check in there :) The neat thing about doing it like this is that your spam detector module can do _anything_ you like, including, for example, logging. Comments? Kake

I am pleased to announce that there will be an OpenGuides hackfest in Bermondsey, London, on the weekend of 9th-10th June 2007. In brief: When: noon-10pm Saturday 9th June, noon-5pm Sunday 10th June Where: Kake/Bob/doop house, near Bermondsey station What: Bug triage and bug fixing Who: Programmers and testers The focus of the hackfest will be bug triage and bug fixing. Everyone who can contribute is welcome, both programmers and testers. The venue is Kake's and Bob's and doop's house, a couple of minutes' walk from Bermondsey station, which is one stop east along the Jubilee line from London Bridge station. Please contact me at kake(a)earth.li if you don't already know the address - for those with livejournal accounts there's a friends-locked post with address and directions at http://nou.livejournal.com/67884.html We'll start on the Saturday around noon with introductions and an initial discussion (I'll provide lunch; let me know if you have a dietary restriction that isn't covered by "vegan"). We'll continue until people are tired (no later than 10pm), probably ordering some form of takeaway for dinner. We'll reconvene on Sunday, again at noon, but probably knock off a bit earlier, say 5pm-6pm. Please feel free to come to some or all of this. Any form of structure will be decided as we go along. Kake
