I think the Changes file that bob links to above gives a clear idea of the changes in this release, so I won't repeat that information here, but I thought people might be interested in what I plan to work on next. My main priority is to fix the maps. OpenGuides core is using a very old version of the Google Maps API. My intention is to switch to Leaflet. Along with this, I will add more ways to visualise the data, for example on RGL you can view all pubs in a given locale, whereas in core OpenGuides you can only view "all pubs" or "all things in a locale". Another thing I plan to do is add more (optional) JavaScript that will make it easier for people to get data into their guides, e.g. a button to populate the four image fields from a single Flickr page URL. I am learning jQuery, to this end! Finally, I want to rub off some of the rough edges that I keep bumping up against, e.g. there is no reason for our search to be a POST - it should be a GET so people can actually link to search results. So if there is a particular small thing that's been bugging you, now is a good time to tell me. In the long term I would like to fix the search properly, since it's incredibly inefficient, but this is a big job that I don't think I will have time for in the near future. Is anyone else doing any OpenGuides hacking at the moment, or has plans to do so soon? Kake
