Hi Kake I think that is a bit unfair Kake. Cityultima is also an open guide to London, and there are literally thousands of external relevant links on it Of course I would like a few links to some of my london relevant sites on the open guide to London, just like everyone else who has added london based links. I do think it is unfair for you to call it spam. But as i have suggested to Dominic before i joined the mailing list, I would be very sad to see such a pioneering site go into lock down. When we first started Cityultima which was around the same time as open guides , the small team we had shared the same ideals. A semantically based open guide that was all about the real london, and not the theaters and tourist attractions that are on the big commercial sites. I have also come to believe that the small grass roots community led sites have a much better chance of doing well against the big names such as londontown or visitlondon, if they work together. And in that regard as I already spend a little time each day approving edits on cityultima, was more than happy to approve edits on the london guide to keep it up and running. And there is most definately a need for it, as you have suggested. It isn't a fork for RLG but completely seperate format.

Hi Just some thoughts You have two breeds of guides 1) well funded with dozens of paid editors and relationships with education and government 2) innovative grass roots initiatives These grass roots initiatives struggle and often fall by the wayside. However collaboration and connection with other grass roots initiatives help to keep them afloat I would be more than happy to help in keeping the london guide alive, but as the mailing list shows there does not seem to be anybody withing open guides who is free to keep it going.
