Hello,
Instead of enjoying the outside world this weekend I have done some
development work on OpenGuides.
I now have a pull request that means we can configure OpenGuides via
environment variables. This will allow us to run OpenGuides in containers
more easily. (I'm also working on that and have a wokring Dockerfile to be
PRed later)
https://github.com/OpenGuides/OpenGuides/pull/99
I'm not enitely happy with iterating over all of @variables but iterating
over %ENV and extracting what I needed was beyond me.
Comments, fixes and suggestions are welcome on the PR.

"I seem to be descending down a yak warren located under a bikeshed"
I just noticed through random chance that there was a new release
back in January: https://metacpan.org/release/OpenGuides
I mention in case anyone is interested.
It's been a very long time since I even thought about OpenGuides,
I'm afraid. But since for the first time since I can remember
I got emailed by london.openguides.org (with a user who was
mainly trying ot leave a message about how out of date everything
is). And according to my email archives it's being in "wind down"
state for about a decade... I think it accidentally regained editability
after a sever migration a few years ago.
Neither cambridge, london or oxford are being actively used or
maintained by anyone, as far as I know, for many years, so it's
probably time I (not-so?)-gracefully turn them all off.
[Bcced to contact emails of guides in question]
Hi all,
As I'm in the process of moving the config for the server in question,
I'm looking at whether to migrate the following sites:
http://copenhagen.openguides.org/http://isle-of-wight.openguides.org/http://north-devon.openguides.org/wiki/http://portsmouth.openguides.org/http://swindon.openguides.org/
These are all sites which seem to have very little genuine content,
and (where edits are enabled) are sadly swamped by spam.
This site:
http://cambridge.openguides.org/
has quite a lot of spam but also a reasonable amount of
genuine content, even if not very up-to-date.
I don't think that most of these sites serve us or anyone else
well, so I am proposing (again with the exception of Cambridge)
to not migrate them - they would disappear and be replaced with a
redirect to
http://openguides.org/gone
Please let me know as soon as possible it you would like to support
keeping any of the first set of sites, or have any views on what
should happen with Cambridge. I will be migrating to the new server
in a few weeks.
Thanks,
Dominic.
I've just released OpenGuides 0.82 to CPAN
https://metacpan.org/release/BOB/OpenGuides-0.82
OpenGuides templates are now responsive thanks to Kake.
See INSTALL if you have an existing install.

OpenGuides 0.79 has been released to CPAN
https://metacpan.org/release/BOB/OpenGuides-0.79
This added the ability to munge content before indexing it with plucene
and Lucy.
It would seem that I failed to announce the release of 0.78 to this list.
0.78 added support for the OpenGraph Protocol and removed the @RSS macro

Hello,
As part of today's London.pm hackday I submitted a pull request to remove
the @RSS macro.
https://github.com/OpenGuides/OpenGuides/pull/86
Unless anyone objects stongly and has proof it is used anywhere
usefully I'm likely to merge it at some point tommorrow and release a new
version of OpenGuides.
