#64: Magical portal system ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: dom | Owner: dom Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: website Version: | Severity: normal Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- This is a bit theoretical at the moment and probably wants thrashing out on IRC/the mailing list for a bit, but recorded here so it doesn't get forgotten.
When we've taken over the world, our users will want an easy way of finding information local to them and won't be interested in having to remember to type in "city.state.country.openguides.org" (or even city.openguides.org, as we have now) on the offchance that it exists. It would be nice if we could have some sort of frontend on http://openguides.org/ that had a form with dropdowns or other magic interfaces to let people search/be redirected to appropriate guides.
This will probably want quite a lot of refactoring of the design of the main web site.
