Thanks to those that came to the pub - it was a fun afternoon and good to talk to people and get them involved in OpenGuides/meet new people etc.
I've dumped my scribblings onto the wiki page:
http://dev.openguides.org/wiki/Anniversary
and implemented the Akismet plugin idea (after returning home with a bunch of spam moderations to attend to...)
http://dev.openguides.org/browser/sites/oxford.openguides.org/lib/OpenGuides...
Very rough but something I'd like to clean up and include into the distribution as a way of making the spam problem Someone Else's Problem.
Cheers, Dominic.

- "No login required" - Janet points out that a little message like this next to the "Edit this page" link may make it clearer how the wiki should work; people might assume otherwise that behind the "edit" link lives a login/signup page
Good point - not sure how best to fit this into the design(s), but it's a good point.
- Good beer guide - London people are already doing this, Oxford should get some GBG categories (also a good way to expand pub listings)
Cambridge is doing it too. I think Dom had concerns about database rights regarding this when we did the "visit other Open Guides" week, but I've since found a piece on the Cambridge CAMRA site that says CAMRA are happy for people to list the GBG pubs as long as they don't reproduce the entries in full.
I have GBG copies back to 2000 and am happy to help with data entry if you decide you want historical GBG info on the Oxford Guide.
- justeat.co.uk - random interesting way to do takeaways online (Socks mentioned having a separate site just for take-away menus online and someone else mentioned this)

Oh, I had a thought on the Akismet thing too! Would it be possible/desirable to have edits flagged up by Akismet (or any other spam detector module) queued for moderation rather than refused outright? I don't really understand the moderation system.

That's certainly one approach, but my catalyst for doing more spam stuff was getting bored with deleting moderated edits, which still needs doing. Maybe if they were automatically deleted after a week or so...

Oh, I really meant as an option, sorry - not as an alternative. I wasn't very clear because I was rushing a bit.
In general, we could really do with a better admin/moderation interface. Though part of the reason I find moderation tedious is that Plucene doesn't cope very well with concurrent deletion, so I wait until one deletion's complete until I start the next, to try to avoid messing up our indexes too much.

So some sort of batch deletion feature would help here? You select what needs deleting and the software will delete them one after another safely, whilst giving feedback on its progress (assuming it takes about a second to delete each. I have no idea how long it actually takes).

That would be very cool. And yes, it's about a second or two.
