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. (http://www.cambridgema.gov/cambglance.cfm)
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.
Regards,
hey crschmidt, list,

ISWYM, looking at this i see a city coming out but you can't set that per-node, only for the whole site.
Well, i think kake and earle originally planned for OG to be syndicated, thus you could delegate to different guides or collect a few in one place or etc.

wouldn't it be nicer to Do It Right, though? ;)
