The Randomness Guide to London is a wiki-based system running on the [http://openguides.org OpenGuides] software. The advantages OpenGuides has over other wiki software are: (1) it uses structured data to make it easy to search on whatever criteria you can think of; (2) it has Google maps support, so you can view your search results on a map as well as in a list; (3) it knows where things are physically, so you can search for things like [http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/find.cgi?cat1=Circle+Line&distance=650&cat2=Good+Beer+Guide&do_search=1 all Good Beer Guide pubs that are close to Circle Line Tube stations]. | The Randomness Guide to London is a wiki-based system running on the [http://openguides.org OpenGuides] software.

We set up RGL mainly because it lets us and our friends keep track of interesting places in London that we might want to visit. If someone recommends a pub in, say, [http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Locale_Kensington Kensington], we add it here, including geographical data so the next time we're going to be in the area we can easily get a list of places that we'd fancied checking out. | We set up RGL mainly because it lets us and our friends keep track of interesting places in London that we might want to visit.
