Re: [CODE4LIB] Master list of open source projects of interest to libraries?
Hi Brad, To echo my colleague Erwin's point above, I manage the FLOSS Inventory so if you have any questions about it feel free to ask me. I am currently starting a task force as part of the EuropeanaTech Community to enrich the list, expand upon it, and possibly build a nice CMS for it as well. Perhaps you would be interested in collaborating on this as well?

[CODE4LIB] code4libcon planning docs review progress and web page template
Hi everyone, A status update from the previous threads that we saw earlier this week - under the How To Plan a Code4LibCon page [1] I have posted a link to a template for conference planners to use as their main conference page on the code4lib.org site. [2] This page is only accessible to those who have a code4lib.org account. [3] For those of you who don't want to look at the gory details, it is a minimally formatted outline of headings, guiding planners as to what at least needs to be on the conference page. I'll leave fancier formatting to the individual committees as well as adding additional information beyond the template prompts. If I missed something on the master template, feel free to edit. :c) Again, the goal of this template is to aid in the communication of conference information from the planning committee to conference attendees. For the other thing that I decided Yeah, I need to finally get around to doing that (but what did I get myself into?!) aka the code4libcon planning docs review ... as one would expect, there are a lot of moving parts regarding conference documentation and communication given the decentralized nature of code4lib and the unique challenges faced by each year's hosts. I have given myself the *deadline of March 2nd 2015 (EOD CST)* to deliver a documentation project proposal and other fluffy things to you all. If things get really complicated the deadline might move a couple days, but the hard deadline will be the end of the first week of March 2015. Thank you to those who have contacted me off list with offers to help - I will contact you next week with further information. If you still want to help with a possible major documentation project, ping me *off list*. Check the to: field if you're just going to say that you'll help ;c) Save everyone else's inboxes! Please let me know if there are any concerns or questions. I am cross posting this message to the public code4libcon Google Group [4] and it might be that the bulk of the future conversation might migrate over there. We'll cross that bridge when we get there, though. Have a good weekend, folks. Stay warm and dry.

This was done the HTTP content-type header, the HTML meta tag, and even in the HTML form. Geesh! Through this whole process I also learned about Solr’s edismax (extended dismax) handler.
