[OpenGuides-Dev] CGI_Wiki_Plugin_Locator_UTM_0.01
by IvorW 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

I have uploaded a module to do X and Y coordinate mapping. It is a wrapper for Geo::Coordinates::UTM I intend to integrate it into OpenGuides. But I wonder how it will sit alongside the existing CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Locator::UK. This could be an install question, with the option of UK only, UTM only or both (though I don't quite know how having both would work. Also, to use UTM you need to specify an ellipsoid - different ones work better for different parts of the globe. Thoughts please.

Listed under one of your guides is the Oxford vegan club.I was sent to your site from a page on the internet which was about the OXFORD VEGETARIANS-Dining out group.There is a telephone number to contact the group for more information,being Penny Edwards on 01865 377 563.This number is now out of use and I wondered if you had updated information available about the group and how to contact them.

[OpenGuides-Dev] Open guide to Sheffield
by Suzi Wells 30 Mar '04

I'd be interested in setting up an open guide to Sheffield, or at least trying to. Think I can find a few people who would contribute from the start. What would I need to do?

[OpenGuides-Dev] More changes for 0.31
by Earle Martin 26 Mar '04

26 Mar '04

>From "Changes": Numerous template tweaks to comply with the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/): - summaries for all HTML tables - labels for all form input elements and some textual additions to templates, such as '/' separators between navbar items, because the guidelines specify links should not only be separated by whitespace. If you don't want these to appear, put the following in your stylesheet and they'll be hidden by CSS (but will still appear for people using textual browsers or screen readers): ".hidden { display: none }". - the "lang" element (a two-letter code identifying the language you're writing pages in) will now be added to the <html> tag on all pages; a new question has been added to the configuration script to ask for it and it will be stored in wiki.conf. *** YOU WILL NEED TO RUN BUILD.PL AGAIN. *** *** Remember to keep a backup copy of your old wiki.conf! *** Improved navigation for search results (next and previous n hits). Removed underscores from page names in search results. Please test if you can. -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

[OpenGuides-Dev] RDF Overhaul
by Earle Martin 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

>From "Changes": Overhauled RDF output. Changes: - everything is no longer classified as a restaurant(!) - empty tags are no longer generated - switch to W3C contact namespace for addressing data - move homepage tag out of wiki metadata - logical structure improvements (subjects of pages are now identified as spatial things instead of being anonymous FOAF topics). Examples... Before: http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Hen%20And%20Chickens%2C%20N1%202N… After: http://un.earth.li/~earle/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?id=Example%20Node;format=rdf Now in CVS on un, please test. -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

[OpenGuides-Dev] OpenGuides and GPSter
by Earle Martin 17 Mar '04

I've CC'ed this to the OpenGuides developers' list so people can comment.

It would be a nice feature, I think, to have something like the InterMap (http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?InterMap) idea so you could say "blah blah the [Paris:Arc De Triomphe]", or something like that, probably located on openguides.org that could be polled for updates. > What's the minimum location info that each node will have? Postal code? The minimum is actually zero - there are no mandated fields, because not every node is actually geospatial in topic. > How do the queries like "Things within 500 metres of Piccadilly Circus > Station" work at the data level? > > GPSter is really based on lat/lon coordinates (as the name might > suggest), so the key would be the translation of openguide nodes into > lat/lon positions. After that, moving the data around is easy. At the moment, that's done by making calculations based on Ordnance Survey coordinates that have been entered for the nodes, because that system defines a convenient grid that's easier to manipulate for those calculations than lat/lon figures - none of this tricky business with oblate spheroids. We're very aware that this is proprietary to the UK, though, and are looking into ways to replace it. In the last day or two, someone brought the UTM system to my attention, and it seems to be a very good candidate (http://search.cpan.org/~grahamc/Geo-Coordinates-UTM-0.03/UTM.pm). > There doesn't seem to be a "click on the map" style interface for > locating stuff. Not yet, no, partially because of the insane cost of map data for this country (for example: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/10kraster/pricing.html). We'd be very interested in having a map interface. Ivor Williams (who'll read this on the list) is looking into doing visualisations of the stuff in an OpenGuides database. > Are there any north american projects similar to openguides, or is this > just very new? Well, we've been around a couple of years but people have only started contacting us and making their own sites around the world for the last few months. There's a newborn OG install for San Francisco as of the other week (http://sf.openguides.org/). Similar projects I know of are Wikitravel (http://www.wikitravel.org/) and World66 (http://www.world66.com/), but they're not particularly North American. There's also a New York restaurant guide thing that's fairly similar in idea, but I'm damned if I can find it right now. Best, Earle. -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

Sounds like I need to pull my finger out and write the Geography::Grid module I have been meaning to write. I think I've got the tuits to do this in non-work time at the moment. I should also write this up as a hack once I've done it. Ivor.
