Description
OpenGuides is a complete system for running a website about some subject where geographical location is important. It's mostly used to run guides to a town or city. It's an open source wiki-based web application written in Perl.
Features:
- StructuredData
- Google maps integration
- SQL backend storage using Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite
- RDF output
Our StructuredData is implemented via user-friendly individual text boxes rather than MediaWiki-style templates; see for example Sandbox edit on the Open Guide to Boston.
We chose to use SQL storage because it's flexible, and it allows guide admins to create customised queries and features; see for example the category search on the Randomness Guide to London. We included SQLite support for situations where running a proper database server isn't possible; SQLite is a complete SQL engine which stores all its data in a single file on disk.
