[OpenGuides-London] Quiet pub in SW London...
by Kate L Pugh 24 Nov '03

24 Nov '03

A group of friends are looking for a nice quiet pub in South-West London to meet up one Friday night a month. It needs to be bisexual-friendly; as in if two girls or two boys were to have a kiss we wouldn't get looked at funny. It also needs to be not too crowded; somewhere we can relax and not have to squeeze in or not have enough seats for everyone. There should be good beer and decent food. Ideally it should be easily reachable from Wandsworth Common. Any suggestions for places we should check out? Kake

[OpenGuides-London] Navigation
by Kate L Pugh 24 Nov '03

We don't seem to have any form of navigation on the "generated" pages such as http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?RecentChanges and http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?action=index;index_type=locale;index… I think it would be better if all pages had some form of navigation, to avoid people feeling stranded.

[OpenGuides-London] New graphic
by Kate L Pugh 24 Nov '03

Hey, I like the new graphical header very much. Would it be possible to have the nav box move up to the top of the page if the browser window is wide enough for it to fit? Kake

You may have noticed that the openguides.org mailing lists have been broken for at least a week. This is now fixed, but any messages that you sent and didn't see come back to you have been *lost*, so please re-send them. I'm very sorry about this. Kake

[OpenGuides-London] Some UI changes
by Earle Martin 26 Oct '03

I've made some look and feel changes to the site along the lines of what Peter Sergeant suggested in this message: http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20031020/022364.html What do you think? -- # Earle Martin http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EarleMartin $a="f695a9a2176a7dd1618af6649896ee10f05ea986de18af6277e9a1d8ef4696644569a1d".

I wrote a little pub search thing for the London OpenGuide. Comments welcome. Is this the kind of thing people would like to see on the site? Here it is on my dev site: http://un.earth.li/~kake/cgi-bin/pubsearch-alpha.cgi Kake

[OpenGuides-London] More on the accessibility thing

A rather perceptive post, forwarded in full from the london.pm discussion.

A *really* successful site will be able to convert consumers into producers. Arguably Open Guide succeeds at none of these things as it only really makes it easy for *producers* to consume as too much pre-knowledge is required to understand and navigate the site and a lot of the early information is aimed at producers. But then, I guess it depends on what you define as "successful". Perhaps we should ask that question - how will we know when Open Guide to London is a success ?

The London OpenGuide doesn't show up when you google for 'London wiki'. It would be nice if it did. Suggestions? Kake
