You should probably use the ticketing system now:

* [http://dev.openguides.org/query?component=oxford.openguides.org Existing tickets]
* [http://dev.openguides.org/newticket?component=oxford.openguides.org New tickets]

The RSS feed for recent changes seems to be invalid, according to [http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ox.compsoc.net%2Foxfordguide%2F%3Faction%3Drss this feed validator]. Apparently it's being served with the wrong Content-Type and there's confusion as to its encoding. I believe this may be causing [http://www.livejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=305929 this problem with LiveJournal syndication] - [[PerfDave]]

Can we get the edit form to insist that the user includes a comment describing their change? I keep forgetting to include something in this field. - [[PerfDave]]

See http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/12 --[[Dom]]

----

Should new [[Comments]] be added to the top or the bottom of this page? - [[PerfDave]]

Pass. It's ugly and I'd rather we either used the mailing list or the ticketing system :) --[[Dom]]

----

Should Colleges be in [[Category The University]]? --[[Dom]]

----

Square brackets around links to external pages look ugly. Is there any chance of preventing them from being displayed? -- [[
James]]

* Not that I know of. I actually disagree in any case; it's a useful way of distinguishing between internal and external links, so I'd rather the convention was kept. --[[Dom]]

* Couldn't that be done within the stylesheet? --[[James]]

* Stylesheet sounds like the best plan. I'll look into it unless someone else does first. --[[Kake]]

I was wondering if the Clubs category should be renamed Nightclubs,
or if it's unlikely that any other sort of club will appear. :) --[[Art]]

* It's true that Clubs is potentially confusing as it could
be used to mean University type clubs (ie societies). --[[Dom]]

James: My spelling is bad I know. Is it
possible to add some sort of spell check? Even if it's just a list of mispelled words so I can go back and re-edit the entry?

* Not my itch; patches welcome :) --[[Kake]]

See http:
//dev.openguides.org/ticket/39 --[[Dom]]

----

Dom: Perhaps we need specific metadata entries for URLs to other guides/reviews?

* Could do, yes — I mainly worry about making the edit form overcomplex and huge. But this is something the RDF people are interested in, so I'll probably add it. --[[Kake]]

See http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/40 --[[Dom]]

James: How about offering the wanted pages ordered by the number of times they are wanted as well as by alphabetical ordering?

* Oh, nice idea. That'll require a patch to CGI::Wiki, so I'll have a think about it. --[[Kake]]
* Might also be nice to replicate [[Wanted Nodes]] as a special case in OpenGuides. --[[Dom]]
* Replicate how? --[[Kake]]
* I explained myself badly. What I mean is that Wanted Nodes should be a "special" page in OpenGuides, such that it is a place people can submit names of things they want to be added to the guide, and it would be automatically included in the Wanted Pages page, and automatically deleted
from both pages when the node exists. In fact, it's probably not that important to even have a list of the pages people have "manually" requested; it would just be a case of having a special case for the "backlink". I hope that makes slightly more sense. --[[Dom]]

Information about businesses etc needs a "last checked" field. Otherwise people won't know how reliable it is - this will particularly be a problem for the opening hours
and (less so) phone numbers, from experience with another system that records this kind of information. --[[Ganesh]]

James: Would it be possible to alter the long/lat display from the decimal representation to the more usual degrees and minutes representation? Streetmap appears to use this representation.
