I've recently moved to Boston, and am interested in setting up an
OpenGuide for the area. The problem with this is that I actually live in
Cambridge - close, but not quite the exact same town. There's a number
of other suburbs that are just as close, and extremely close quarters to
the town itself: Cambridge has about 100,000 people in 6.43 square
miles, Greater Boston has about 250,000 according to quick google
results. (

However, OpenGuides are not really designed for multi-city guiding, so
far as I can tell. For example, there's no city Metadata that can be set
- a fault that probably limits the Tourist Engineer as well.
Is there a general solution for what to do to create a guide that
applies to more than one city? If I were to hack up an option in
wiki.conf or something similar that allowed additional "City" Metadata
to be stored, rather than simply expecting everything to be in the same
city, would such a change be accepted?
I'd like to have an answer from the group before I put too much effort
into it either way.
