TODO List
Add the things you think need to be done, but can't do yourself. Remove the bullet points when you've fixed something.
- Just suggestions so delete if I'm talking rubbish: I've only just discovered Geohashin' (I like) but would it be possible to be a bit more blatant about the coordinate calculator on the main page? Something huge and obvious like "Find my nearest Geohash spot" I know it's just a laugh but this would (and should) be way more popular if there wasn't just a scary looking algorithm at the top of the homepage, the adventure pictures later on really sell it (oh and put Spontaneous Adventure Generator in big letters near the top) :-D Keep up the good work!
- The link on the iphone app page [1] labelled Geohash support is broken
- Fix any graticules in the list of renaming suggestions, if sensible.
- Jim removed an apparently invalid expedition and photo from 2009-01-10 Someone should see if the real 2009-01-10 29 -95 is hiding someplace that isn't obvious.
- Expedition Archive pages (like [2]) show same coordinates for every day (looks like an error)
- Started a discussion here: User_talk:Tjtrumpet2323#usage_of_var:latdate_on_Template:Coordinates.2FRegular.2FlatOnly.3F - a correct use of vardefine:* might fix this if it's not going to break anything else.
- Does anyone have access to LocalSettings.php to set $wgUseTeX = true; so that formulas can be used? Or is there some other way to enable them that I'm not seeing? Thanks! -ralph
- Kids' Geohash? If they have a GPS enabled phone they can take part but the grid is too big so divide it into 32, 64 or even 128 for younger kids. Parental supervision recommended!
- anything in Category:Needs attention might also be considered a kind of TO DO, especially Award template needed and Ribbon image needed
