Some of us were hoping to talk about the Oxford Guide at the next-but-one Oxford Geek Night (in July), but if the guide can't be upgraded before then, there's not much point in us going and telling people about all of OpenGuides' new shiny features...
I will make sure that the Oxford guide is running current Openguides by July.
I should probably follow up on this. libtemplate-perl is still out of date in Debian and this fact, combined with the fact that there isn't going to be an OpenGuides presence at Oxford Geek Night next month after all means I haven't done this yet. But it's still on my radar.
libtemplate-perl is up to date, but the next stumbling block is that I have not been able to upload libgeo-coordinates-osgb-perl to Debian, since it has not been found to meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines. As a result I plan to upload it to non-free instead (at least until someone can tell me that it should go in main) but this means that Openguides will need tweaking to suit:
http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/307
If the project thinks this change shouldn't be made in OpenGuides it could be maintained as a patch in the Debian package, although regardless of legal complexities it's probably worth streamlining the installation a bit to avoid installing modules that may not be used.
I would love it if someone could pick this up (it'll mean getting OpenGuides up to date in Debian and hence on the OpenGuide installations running on urchin). If not I'll stick it on my list for some point in the future.
Cheers, Dominic.
