Saturday it is.
I have a venue for this - the "postie pub":
http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Pakenham_Arms%2C_WC1X_0LA
It's not the closest pub to the workshop venue, but you will see the reason for my choosing it if you read the OpenGuides page.
If there are large numbers of us arriving and wanting food, the management will want us to phone through in advance. I explained that I had no idea how many people would be coming.
If you want to guarantee getting food, here's the number:
020 7837 6933
See you on Saturday, those who are coming.
Ivor.
Please distribute to any UK guide specific mailing lists:
With the recent change to UK pub licensing, our "Opening Hours" data could be very important, especially if we are keeping it up to date, and seen to be keeping it up to date.
I suggest that anyone doing new write ups, or visiting pubs already in the guides, checks what the hours are/will be.
I also suggest adding a small entry to the body content, stating that the hours were checked, with a date.
Could also be potential for a few crawls :).
Ivor.
I've just hashed out a policy for code commits on
http://dev.openguides.org/wiki/CommitPolicy to avoid some of the
problems we've had in the past (mostly my fault, I realise).
Please feel free to raise questions, disagreements or additions here.
Cheers,
Dominic.

Saturday is the London Perl Workshop.
http://london.pm.org/lpw
I shall be present as I shall be speaking. Last year, we had a successful BOF, where I managed to meet Dominic and Simon for the first time.
If we want to do this, we have three options for timing:
Friday evening
Saturday lunchtime
Saturday evening
Please indicate your preference if you want to come.

Sorry, I missed out replying to this paragraph.
I don't think this alone warrants retaining support for S::II. It adds
extra layers of maintenance to OpenGuides and adds to the complexity of
the install. I'm not sure S::II installs have even worked for quite some
time.

I think it's worth retaining the pluggability of searches, so that we could add alternative(s) to Plucene at some future stage. I had a problem with installing Plucene on one machine, and fell back to SII, but since resolved the problem with Plucene.
IMHO, it's nice to have an alternative to Plucene so that we can check it for anomalies in the search results, even though it's inferior.
By the way, any news on the proken compatibility with the latest Text::WikiFormat? I needed to dive into backpan to retrieve an old T::WF that worked with CGI::Wiki.
Ivor.
A handful of changes have queued up so I thought I would make a release
of OpenGuides this weekend. Should anything go into the current
snapshot[1] for 0.48?
The following bugs will remain open after 0.48, unless someone fixes
them soon (from https://rt.cpan.org/):
Important:
#13148 Error with links containing underscores
Normal:
#8208 International characters in new pages
#8814 Undeletable garbage nodes on london.openguides.org
#8852 node.tt doesn't look for osie_x
#9390 Bug handling <pre>
#6386 Search Engine has an issue with international characters
#6398 International Characters in RSS feed.
Unimportant:
#9746 Recent Changes table layout
Wishlist:
#8203 More helpful Create a page in this category link
#11799 Summary field
#9555 Edit page category/locale selection
#9313 mod_perl support
#9315 Merge london.og.org templates
#9340 Basic auth integration
#9380 Custom metadata fields
#12972 Category/locale links in metadata behave differently to normal links
#4077 Review date field
If anyone would like to tackle any of these bugs (especially the one
tagged as Important) in the next couple of days, please let me know your
plans so I can wait for any fixes that you make. Equally if you have
further information on any of the bugs or think that any should be
closed, let me know or comment in RT.
Lastly, I would like to solicit comments on dropping support for
Search::InvertedIndex soon. My personal need for it no longer exists,
so I am tempted to drop it for 0.49 or thereabouts, but if people want
otherwise and can help with its continued support, then I am happy for
that too. So, if you currently use S::II, let me know your views.

I am thinking about a guide to San Jose, Costa Rica. Do you have
hosting available, or would I have to provide my own hosting?
Also, does the software have multilingual capabilities? Both Spanish
and English would be useful for Costa Rica.
Thank you.

Ralph Dratman
