I hope to set up a couple of these myself soon, as soon as I get the CPAN modules into OpenBSD "package" format (like Debian APT but done differently "because, hey, this is BSD not Linux" :-)

nod, installation instructions for my recent dodgy software state basically, "er it's somewhere in ports, if you're running BSD then you clearly already know what you're doing."

I've been plugging OG like crazy on the mappinghacks.com blog and through map.wirelesslondon.info also (would apprec feedback on this, i think we have usability problems with the new UI :/ ) I really hope the book coverage also helps to sprout new OGs.

Recently i've been fantasising about extending OG's RDF support a bit more; using the key-value metadata store in CGI::Wiki to be able to add keys which are predicate URIs (ical properties, or dublin core properties or what have you) which can be serialised into RDF on-the-fly, rather than the current fairly static template-based serialisation.

I don't know if this really belongs in the OG core or whether we should try and do this directly onto CGI::Wiki; how useful would it be for others' purposes? (my main current use case is for a wiki->PDF on demand interface, which i could build by html-scraping on any wiki, but as i also have more ephemeral RDF->PDF-on-demand use cases, i sort of wanted to glom the whole lot together. damn this overconnecting tendency! ;)
