I wonder whether this might be the time to revisit node_name_to_node_param and provide something more flexible. I have in mind something inwardly pluggable that supplies a normalisation function for node names. Currently, n_n_t_n_p reduces multiple whitespace to a single space, replaces spaces with underscores and adds Title Case. There is no reason why this could not apply de-accenting of letters or turning umlauts into diphthongs. I think that there is a strong case for this being a plugin. Also, this could provide a solution to some of the King's_cross_st_pancras problem (I originally raised this as an issue with search, but it could equally be thought of as a node name munging issue). see http://openguides.org/mail/openguides-dev/2003-October/000091.html I'm sorry I can't be around for the hackfest. I'll try and recall and braindump the ideas I have had to the list between now and then. Good festing and good hacking all. Ivor.

[OpenGuides-Dev] Greylisting System
by Chris Prather 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

So today I was reading the page on the dev wiki about Greylisting (http://openguides.org//dev/?node=Wiki%20Greylisting) and it's a fairly straight forward and a kinda nice idea to avoid the anti-wiki like idea of requiring user logins for submissions. However there is one minor change that I'd like to add. After an IP address has a post moderated and accepted the first time that IP address is then whitelisted for a time, meaning any of their further posts are automatically accepted for a period of time. This will reduce the amount of admin intervention required. Possible drawbacks I've thought of so far: * Dynamic IP address change after unknown periods of times. Initially I was thinking the whitelist period could be measured in months, but now I suspect it should be days or possibly hours on a very active guide. * It won't block a spammer from making a useful edit to gain whitelist access then using that elevated status to wreak havoc. But then that would be a fairly dedicated spammer, and their IP address would be blacklisted very quickly. * There is a question of which user is whitelisted in the case of multiple edits (Bob edits FooNode, Alice edits FooNode, AdminHex moderates Alice's merge with Bob ... who's IP address is whitelisted? Alice? Bob? Both?) I suggest that it's only Alice's, but this could be configurable. I'm sure there are drawbacks I haven't thought of. Suggestions? -Chris

Sounds similar to an idea I had for when you're going on a journey and want to find all the stuff that is within a range of your route. Ideally upload your MS Autoroute or GPS route waypoints?

[OpenGuides-Dev] OpenGuides::Statistics
by Earle Martin 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

Dom asked me on IRC yesterday about the code that generates the OGL node statistics (http://london.openguides.org/statistics/). I've now modulized it. Please test this: http://downlode.org/tmp/Openguides-Statistics-1.tar.gz I've not been able to test it against any databases other than the current London one (PgSQL), so I have no idea if it will work for others, although I've tried to write it so that it will. I also only have some very basic tests for it because I don't know how to write tests for something that relies on a database. Cheers, Earle. -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/
