[OpenGuides-London] Limiting the number of categories and locales that can be entered
by Rev Simon Rumble 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

London has just had someone enter a zillion categories: http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Garden_Centre_At_Oriental_City%2C… I think we need a way to limit this, otherwise you end up with a zillion stubs floating around.

It's been a year since the last activity on this front, so I'd like to re-mention the existence of the OpenGuides trade mark fund appeal. http://openguides.org/trademark.html -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

Hi I have noticed that the RSS feed (for recent changes) has upset Thunderbird. It says this is not a valid RSS feed. The most recent one that it accepted is : Could someone try it with another RSS reader ?

[OpenGuides-London] #REDIRECTs and show pages linking
by IvorW 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

It's nice to see the redirects working again :). However, one thing just struck me. Since the old page is passed into CGI as param old_id, this could be used to make "Show pages linking" show all pages pointing to the original page. This is posted to the London list, as I think that the "Show pages linking" is London template specific. Ivor.

I would suggest putting them on your home node, or perhaps creating a node [[Shermozle/food]], perhaps in category personal recommendations You could also tag each recommendation with a link to [[Shermozle/food]]. You could then query "show pages linking here". I was playing around with this in the Grubstreet days. On a copy of the wiki, I set up [[IvorW/Recommends]], and using links to generate a reverse index on this. Nothing's set in concrete. If you want to try something, have a go.

[OpenGuides-London] Simon's guide to London food

I was thinking of starting a node that describes my favourite places to eat in London. This would be, obviously, more subjective than what should be in the restaurant nodes themselves. How should I do this? A category? And how should it be linked in? Perhaps we should have a category of "personal guides" or something?

There will undoubtedly be plenty of excellent information on other sites.

... which itself I had some mixed feelings about. But, I wonder what kind of services OpenGuides can offer by 2012. Should we make OGL multilingual? Should we increase our sporting content? Should we get sponsored/go commercial? Ideas... Thoughts... Ivor.
