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.

The link on the iphone app page [1] labelled Geohash support is broken
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
2011-06-26_49_8 has category Category:Meetup in 49 8 on it, but doesn't appear on that category page. Is something wrong with the graticule Template? (We had a problem with spaces between the colon and the category name at one time.) Jiml 10:22, 27 June 2011 (EDT)

Not sure what you mean, 2011-06-26 49 8 is on the category page and that's the equivalent name with spaces (they are interchangable), am I missing something? - Mampfred 16:48, 27 June 2011 (EDT)

It seems to be showing up on the category page now. Not sure why the problem disappeared. Jiml 22:04, 6 July 2011 (EDT)

I need a GEOHASH ALARM. An email to be sent to me every time the selected point is close enough to me (like less than 5 miles, for example).

Your wish is my command. Register an email address at http://xkcd.nathanwoodruff.com/Notify.aspx It will send you an email with a password. Log in and enter a Graticle Latitude and a graticule Longitude in the Grat Lat and Grat Lon boxes 33 -84 for Atlanta Georgia. If you want to enter the Global Hash, check the Global box, Then enter a Location Latitude and Longitude in the Location Lat and Location Lon. 33.75 -84.39 for the dead center of Atlanta Georgia. You will need to enter a maximum distance. If you enter 5 miles it will send an email if the days coordinates for the chosen graticule is less than 5 miles away. Click on the "Add" button. It will send you an email from now on every day after the Dow open is released. --NWoodruff (talk) 18:25, 13 November 2014 (EST)

-* I have been working on the Achievements list trying to improve consistency.
-** Add "[[:Category:Achievement award templates]]" where this is missing.
-** Put a link to the template at the top of the page, not in the nether regions of hell.
-** Some have no template. I have marked these with "[[:Category:Needs attention]]".
-** Some are undocumented. I have marked these with "[[:Category:Needs attention]]".
-** Fix anything else that looks odd or inconsistent.
-** I have completed most of the above.
-** I plan to clean up the links to the ribbon templates and move these near the top of the page.
-** I plan to document the undocumented templates.
-** I plan to create the missing templates. This is a task in progress --[[User:Sourcerer|Sourcerer]] ([[User talk:Sourcerer|talk]]) 06:57, 20 July 2015 (EDT)
