Journal suggestions...
Hi, I've started to use the Journal feature to keep friends informed about my/project activity.
One of the main uses of the Journal is to export it via RSS to be integrated in other pages/aggregators).
And I've found some small problems/improvements that could be useful:
1) In the exported RSS format... the single quote is double-escaped to ' breaking on read. Should be, simply, ' (or directly, the single quote).
2) Everything in the RSS feed is a title. Perhaps it could be the description instead (with the title defaulting to first words/first line or something more reduced). That will help with integration of journal feeds in other places, for sure.
And that's all. Thanks for your continue evolution! Ciao :-)
Hi,
also... it seems to be impossible to tag projects having whitespaces in the name. Things like:
#Moodle (contrib) doesn't work at all. IMO it would be great to have some workaround for this (I've tried both the project number or replacing spaces by underscores with no luck).
Ciao :-)
Hi Eloy,
Thanks for the feedback.
1) The HTML escaping always makes my head hurt :-). We'll take a look.
2) We've heard this request before, so it sounds like a lot of people are interested in this.
Regarding the tags, yes, you cannot have white space in the tag. For tags, we use the URL name
of the project. This is the name that appears in the URL of the project on Ohloh.
For instance, the Linux Kernel 2.6
project can be found at http://www.ohloh.net/projects/linux, and so you can use #linux
as a tag.
However, the Moodle (contrib)
doesn't have an URL name set up yet. It's currently just listed by number, at http://www.ohloh.net/projects/4206. If you want, you edit that project and pick an URL (perhaps moodle_contrib
?) which you can then use to tag your journal entries.
The tags and URL names stuff is not obvious... let me know if I've explained it well enough.
Thanks,
Robin
Thanks Robin,
great news to hear that 1 & 2 con be implemented. Cool!
About URL names, perfect, I've edited both Moodle (contrib) and Moodle (lang), defining their URLs as suggested (moodle_contrib and moodle_lang) and they can be tagged. Thanks!
Ciao :-)
