Hi,
People interested in projects similar to OpenGuides might be interested
to see
http://wiki.ournottingham.net/, whose creator apparently felt
that
http://nottingham.openguides.org/ didn't quite fulfill Nottingham's
collaborative-city-guide needs[1].
It uses MediaWiki, which is cool in some ways (discussion tabs!) but
lacks features I for one consider important in OpenGuides (structured
metadata, x-y coordinates) and apparently the content it released under
the GFDL, though this information is hard to find without a spot of
digging.
While we're on the subject, does anyone know if the GFDL and CC by-sa
2.0 licence are "compatible" in either direction? That is to say, can
content from either of these guides be easily included in the other? My
rough understanding of the licences suggests not, but IANAL.
Cheers,
James
[1] Grumble. This "providing content" lark sure is hard.
