[delicious-discuss] Edit link from searches
Why don't searches provide edit / delete links next to your own items? This is my top peeve with delicious at the moment. :-/ (I know I could hack out a Greasemonkey userscript to fix it for myself, but IMHO it shouldn't be an issue in the first place.) ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [delicious-discuss] Feature Request - Search filtered by notes
Joshua- I was just going to request this same feature. I've found that entries with notes are very useful, especially when page titles are meaningless.

[delicious-discuss] Proposal to enhance tag bundle usage
Hi there,
I'm pretty new to this list, so I don't know if this topic has already been discussed.
At first, I think that all links should be filterable by their tag bundle, e.g. by using the URL http://del.icio.us/username/bundle/bundlename
(also RSS feed: http://del.icio.us/rss/username/bundle/bundlename).
This would allow to structure your links more than you can do with
tagging only, so to speak you could apply a hierarchical structure to
grouping your into tag bundles (acting as a 'folder').
For sure you will have the same links in different tag bundles, as the
tags inside a bundle will intersect with tags from another bundle. IMHO
these intersections are totally necessary and can not be avoided,
therefore you should be able to assign a priority for each tag when adding it to a bundle
(e.g. a range from 1=very low importance to 5=very high importance).
Assigning the priority could be as easy as typing 'rss5' when adding
the tag 'rss' with priority '5' to a tag bundle 'blog-tech'. You also
could add 'rss1' in the same manner to the bundle 'blog-social', since
'rss' applies 'blog-social' too, but with a by far lower importance
than in 'blog-tech'.
Finally you could set an importance filter for each bundle,
e.g. set 'blog-tech's and 'blog-social's importance threshold to '3'
and only the links tagged with an importance equal or higher than '3'
will be shown when accessing the bundle. That means that links tagged
with 'rss3+' will be shown in
http://del.icio.us/username/bundle/blog-tech, but not
http://del.icio.us/username/bundle/blog-social. Even if it is not
shown, the relation between 'blog-social' and 'rss' is not broken --
it's only filtered out.
That's just a quick outline of the idea, what do you think about it?
IMHO this will combine the power of a hierarchical folder structure and tagging.
Besides the better filtering and navigation possibilities (would be
definitely easier to find a link) you could use the bundle rss feeds as
live bookmarks in firefox. Have a live bookmark for each bundle
('folder') and you can use the builtin firefox bookmarks menu to access
your del.icio.us bookmarks -- even sorted into folders/bundles instead
of having the huge list of all bookmarks or the huge list of tags...
I'm looking forward to your feedback and ideas!

[delicious-discuss] posting - URL construction
A couple of questions:I've noticed thathttp://del.icio.us/userX?url="" spreadsheet , e.g., works - in the sense that it succeeds in passing the URL, title *and* tags to the posting GUI - while this doesn't: http://del.icio.us/post?url="" spreadsheet; it leaves off the tags.Is there a (good) reason for this?Also, why is it not possible to post a description=? Also, I am aware of http://del.icio.us/help/api - and http://del.icio.us/help/api/posts, in particular - but this does not seem to address URL construction per the examples above. Is URL construction per ex's above documented anywhere?...Bottom line: Is it possible to write a link that will pass a URL, title *and* tags (and ideally also description) to del's posting GUI *without* knowing a user's del username?...

Re: [delicious-discuss] posting - URL construction
This begs a distinction between proper and improper tagging. Tags are a memory aid, decided upon by the person doing the remembering. If some other person with intentions other than recall choses the tags, then they are indeed improperly chosen. A person reads an article about some subject and tags it as such. The publisher is likely to be much more general because they want that that link to show up in more places if at all possible. I thus think that allowing this feature would lower the quality of the system. One thing that's impressed me is how variable people's tagging practices are - leaving me unsure as to what improper tagging would look like. Arguably, allowing publishers to tag their stuff would decrease tagging creativity, but it might increase the user base, too, which could increase creativity Interesting. This is only part of it for me - and probably the lesser part. I value del.icio.us at least as much as a way of finding things I didn't know to look for - i.e., as an alternative to search - as I value it as a mnemonic tool. Fair enough. But for the record, the context in which this question arose was NumSum.com. I wanted to post a spreadsheet I had developed to my own del.icio.us account, and was surprised when their [Post] to del.icio.us link didn't inherit the name or tags I had given the 'sheet. Theoretically, I could write a little Greasemonkey script to rewrite these links with my own username, title and tags - which I, frankly, would prefer to include, whether I'd written them myself or not, at least in this context - but my javascript chops just aren't up to snuff, even for such a relatively simple project. Alas Well, at the very least, the publisher CAN supply the title of the document...

[delicious-discuss] Search Return Set Returns Too Many Items
It seems that the search return set for your own items actually searches the term upon *everyone's* instance of the item in question (while only returning items you have tagged yourself). For instance, I can search for the term logic under my own terms [/search/?user=logic] and correctly get back items containing the term... as well as unwanted items which do not contain the term, but which *others* have tagged or described using the term. Am I making sense? :-) ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
