Title: RSS feeder - new idea!
Post by: Tony on October 08, 2012, 02:50:13 PM
You know what we could do - automatically post wiki changes as posts into the forum.

http://www.biopowered.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atom

That would be useful, surely?

In that case i would be against it  :) i sort of throw everything onto a page and then play about and sort it out at the end (or get help! ) not sure i would want everyone looking at one of my half finished attempts

So you'd be happy depriving everyone of a damned good laugh would you?

Don't forget the facility is already available on the wiki with the "recent changes" link.

Ahrr ... sensitive little sausage!

I'm sure Tony could knock you up you own little play area behind a modesty screen ... do they call them sand boxes (not being a boffin I wouldn't know)

Or you could do it this way ... write all the text in word, so it gets smell and gammer checked, then up load the photos leaving only the layout to play with.  You can make it look like you know what you are doing by not saving, but previewing the page.  That way you can make numerous changes with only one save of the finished page ... err, not that I do it that way, of course.

Sand box? i think a litter tray may be more apt

No that's a good point actually.  WIP is rarely pretty and it's far better to save regular iterations than try (and potentially lose) a lot of work in one go.  I guess for new pages there is nothing to stop proud creators broadcasting them in the forum the old fashioned manual way.

"Takes ages" ... (desperately need to use a laughing smiley, but I'm fighting the temptation) like over a year you mean?  ;D ;D ;D :-X

MOD EDIT: MUST FOLLOW THROUGH IF SMILEYS ARE THREATENED

That's gross abuse of position.  They weren't threatened, they were "needed".  Completely different to anyone with a modicum of comprehension.

We should print a "This page is Work In Progress and therefore may not be complete." for your extension Julian  ;D

(Like I can talk, mine has been a work in progress since 2007)

I'm quite used to people taking the hiss out of me but I'm struggling to work out who's doing it ... or is this a group effort?
