hi again,

as briefly mentioned on irc we'd like to set up an open guide to san francisco. i wonder what the oslo people did to de-UK-ify their openguides

• just delete the OSX and Y fields from their template?

the openguides we ran at etcon not really for geographic purposes i did fix up to accept UTM and convert back and forth between lat and long (and OS numbering is just a UTM coordinate with a digit missing i learned) also i was thinking of plugging in a geocoder to generate lat and long from street addresses - e.g. http://headmap.org/geocoder/geolookup.cgi - postcode boundaries being very large here.

is anyone else looking at that, i could try and assemble these changes into a patch but they were a bit messy and should be config options...

Sounds like I need to pull my finger out and write the Geography::Grid module I have been meaning to write. I think I've got the tuits to do this in non-work time at the moment. I should also write this up as a hack once I've done it.

Ivor.
