Hello. I've been thinking recently about the various different OpenGuides we have floating around, and the individual styles that they're all evolving.
I've been doing a bit of copyediting on some of the non-RGL guides recently; I feel pretty comfortable doing this on the Oxford Guide because Socks thanked me for it on #openguides. I was wondering if it might be a good idea if we maybe chose a week some point soon to visit each other's guides and do a bit of editing. Even if we're unfamiliar with a particular city, we can still do typo fixing, tidying up formatting, sorting out any duplicated content, making sure everything's in the category it should be in, even adding new categories to pull together existing content, or adding content such as external links if that's appropriate for that particular guide.
(Maybe making progress on the OGL Great Renaming could form part of this, if that project is still going on? Though I wouldn't want it to dominate the week.)
I think this would build up the community feeling a bit more, as well as breathing fresh life into all of the guides, and being a project that even non-coders can get their teeth into. What do people think?
A prerequisite for this would be some documentation about what is/isn't appropriate on a given guide, since this isn't always obvious - for example, I've not been sure whether it's appropriate for me to add new categories to the Oxford Guide - but having this documentation would be very useful anyway, and is a worthwhile project in itself. I think it's also a project that _demands_ external input, since it's only by having other people asking "is it OK to do this?" that we can be sure we've set down the things that are so embedded in our minds that we never actually think about them.
Thoughts?
