Shiny. What are you using it for?
The wiki: simplified self-published & content management/revision control.
There's a council-wide CMS as well, but it's so slow, clunky and generally
crap that people wanted an alternative for manageing lots of related pages of
information.
Metadata about opening hours and locations isn't used, but instead categories
like "Freedom of information", "data protection" and so forth have
sprung up.
The file upload feature: Sometimes scanned documents, photos, word documents
or PDFs need to be attached for some reason or other, and aren't suitable to
be cut-and-pasted.
Would you be
interested in merging this feature into the main tree?
Yes.
Cool. Would you prefer me to send a patch against the .30 tree, or should i
commit to a fresh branch of CVS comewhere?
I have not been well for a little while and am
currently off work
sick. So not much is getting done at the moment.
Hope you get well soon,
Toby
