Separating module install from guide install
by Kake L Pugh 01 May '08

01 May '08

Hello. As it has now become my itch, I've started working on separating out installation of the OpenGuides modules from setup of an Open Guide. I'm basing it on the way that CGI::Wiki::Kwiki works[0]. If you have a better way to do it, and either: a) your way is less hassle (for me) than my way, or b) you are willing to do the work your way, and plan to do so within the next few months, then please let me know. Otherwise I'll carry on with this. For the time being, I won't be committing this to OpenGuides svn trunk. I can commit it in a branch if someone would like to send me absolutely idiot-proof instructions for doing so. Kake [0] CGI::Wiki::Kwiki can be found on search.cpan.org - it's almost certainly quicker for you to go and have a look at it yourself than for me to try to summarise how it works.

I'm not able to attend, but if anyone else is interested in doing so, please do! Dominic. ----- Forwarded message from Mark Bernstein <bernstein(a)eastgate.com> ----- X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.7 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,HTML_FONT_FACE_BAD, HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=3.2.3 From: Mark Bernstein <bernstein(a)eastgate.com> To: dom(a)earth.li Subject: About WikiSym '08 Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:06:25 -0400 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.919.2) X-Urchin-Spam-Score-Int: -16 I'm the Program Chair for WikiSym '08, the Fourth International ACM Symposium on Wikis. WikiSym '08 September 8-10 Porto, Portugal http://www.wikisym.org/ws2008/ I'd very much like you to consider writing a paper, a short paper, or proposing a panel discussion for this year's WikiSym. There's still plenty of time before the May 3 deadline! And don't overlook the opportunity for demos — a superb way to introduce new ideas and new techniques to the best wiki minds and the most active wiki developers. Posters and demos can be submitted as late as June 11th. Submissions will be carefully reviewed — I'm very proud of this year's distinguished program committee -- and I'm looking forward to an exceptionally strong and exciting program. http://www.wikisym.org/index.php?p=19 call for papers Porto is a delightful place, ideal for a working conference like WikiSym: modern, comfortable, interesting, and refreshing. It has excellent connections with a range of discount air carriers, and it's a short and easy flight from the East coast of the US and Canada. We're even planning to take this year's OpenSpace program out into the city as a WikiWalk, in addition to the exciting new WikiFest event for starting and cultivating new wikis. I am especially interested in strengthening ties between wiki scholarship and practice, and between theoretical work in WIki culture and business Wiki work. I do hope you and your colleagues will consider submitting to the program, and I'd be happy to answer any questions that might arise, or to lend and advice I can. Finally, if your organization would benefit from building a stronger and more active wiki community, helping to sponsor scholarly conferences like ACM WikiSym can give you exceptional leverage. Even prestigious and selective conferences like WikiSym — sponsored by ACM, in cooperation with SIGWeb — are run on a shoestring, and sponsorships of only a few hundred dollars or euros can make a very real difference, and evoke very real gratitude from the community. Again, feel free to let me know if you'd like to explore this. Thanks again!

Anniversary meet!

Hello. Apparently the OpenGuides project is five years old this month. We should have a meetup! Is anyone willing to cat-herd for this? If not, then I will do it, but I'm really quite busy at the moment so it would be lovely if someone else could. All you need to do is find a date some time in the next few months that as many people as possible can make (and it would be best if it's one that me, Dom, Ivor, and Earle can all manage), choose between Oxford and London, and then ask Dom (Oxford) or me (London) to pick the venue. If you've been wondering what you can do for the project, this is something! Kake
