Keep telling people about it. Just keep plugging it, lots, whenever appropriate. See if you can get some local groups to use it as their main point of reference for meeting places and so on - for example, London.pm meeting announcements nearly always have an Open Guide to London URL to show people more information about where we're meeting. If you're meeting some friends in a pub, make an OpenGuides page for it and put the URL in the email you send around. Any time you want to tell someone something about your city, don't write it in an email; put it on an OpenGuides page and send the URL.
Ps. I would really like to be able to track beer prices for different pubs as that is a major concern here (1/2 l costs from 27-60 nkr (3-7 euro, averaging on 5-6)), any suggestions for the best way to do that?
Track in what way? You could do something like add pubs to categories like
Average Beer Price 25-35 nkr Average Beer Price 35-45 nkr
etc
and then get me to mess with the pubsearch http://london.openguides.org/pubsearch.cgi
to give you a dropdown with those categories in.
Is that the sort of thing you're after?
