Re: [CODE4LIB] Wikis
I know that I'm jumping into this late, and you may have already chosen something, but I had good luck using the Wiki Matrix to select a wiki: http://www.wikimatrix.org/ There's a Choice Wizard that you use to answer questions to guide you to a list of wikis that match your needs. It's been updated as recently as July 31 of this year, but there is always the chance that it's missing available wikis.

[CODE4LIB] Recommendations for a teaching OPAC?
Hi everyone, I teach an intro to IT survey class for the LIS school at Illinois. The one-major-topic-a-week syllabus doesn't really give us time to deep dive into IT topics, but it lets us explore them and give contextual understanding to the building block pieces. Ideally, every topic has some sort of hands-on exercise that gives real life experience with the concepts/technologies. The exercises are usually independent, but I've been kicking around the idea of using a simple OSS OPAC to teach different elements of the class as a semester-long big cascading lesson. Examples: Lesson: Linux, ssh and the command shell Exercise: Installing Ubuntu, getting comfortable with that environment Lesson: OSS and software ecosystems Exercise: Get a LAMP stack setup on the OS, install the OPAC Lesson: Interfaces, usability, accessibility Exercise: Use the OPAC, populate it with some data, assess its usability Lesson: HTML/CSS Exercise: Use CSS to skin the OPAC, customize the HTML for your "site" Lesson: Data management, search, IR Exercise: See if we can peak under the hood about how the OPAC's search works Lesson: Interfaces to data: databases, XML, SQL Exercise: Use the OPAC as an living example to work with those interfaces Lesson: Cloud computing, 2.0/social network integration Exercise: Not sure yet... This idea primarily came from trying to get some simple XML/SQL exercises that didn't suck (the setup for these environments is almost as involved as any exercises itself), and the fact the previous classes really liked dissecting the nextgen catalogs we've explored from a software selection and 2.0 integration perspective. But here's the catch, and this is why I need your experience, Code4Lib. I'm not an OPAC admin, and have no experience running or hacking them. I'm looking for recommendations for software that would help me with the goals above, without being too difficult or overwhelming for the students or me. :) It doesn't have to be a good/complete OPAC, necessarily -- just a teaching tool to give experience with the lessons above. Should I be looking at koha and evergreen and the big ones, or are there small projects that you're aware of that might be better? My preference would be MySQL and PHP, but as long as the supplemental tools and documentation are good, I'm flexible. For example, if there are tools as good as phpmyadmin to browse postgresql, I don't think it really matters. I'm willing to sacrifice "good" for "simple and transparent". I don't think Rails is a good place to go with this because I don't want to teach MVC/Rails. (Maybe I'm wrong?) Oh, and I'd also like a small project with great documentation, but I've been around OSS long enough to know that's a diamond in the rough. Sadly, the reality is (for most of these exercises) if the project documentation is lacking, I'll have to write that as well. What are your thoughts on this endeavor? Any recommendations? Thanks!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Browser Support
Of course, rapid changes in technology mean that something might not work in *newer* versions, but usually it's older versions that you have to worry about. So from a testing/development perspective having such a policy makes a lot of sense. It sets bounds on what you have to test and lets you know what cool new features you can exploit. For example, say you're responsible for maintaining a library website and you want to add some neat new functionality that isn't supported in, say, IE6; if your policy says you only support IE7 or later then it makes it easy to know that that's OK (and you have something to back up your decision if a user complains!). Or maybe you're in the testing phase and working on Safari; if your policy says you only support Safari 5 or later, you don't have to test in earlier versions.

Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
The jobs posted on this list are all relevant and appropriate to the wide scope of people who read this list. We have not just seasoned programmers, but also recent college graduates and people looking for entry-level jobs in the field, as well as archivists and more. It seems like a mistake to impose additional rules and regulations on what types of jobs are allowed to be posted here...professional organizations looking to spread the word about jobs available in the field may become reticent to share some here if we give the impression that we don't want them. I agree with Kelly, and everyone else who has stated that the number of job postings does not bother me one bit. Whether or not the amount of job postings coming through here is too much or too little seems like a personal preference issue, and one that can be treated with filters on keywords, etc, in one's own email client or RSS feed reader.

Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
For those who dislike the current ratio of job postings to regular content the solution seems clear: start posting more flamewar inducing questions. It's quite easy. Allow me to demonstrate.

Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
How about this? Please only post the jobs that require programming skills or experience due to the nature of this list. Think before you post. For me, it doesn't bother me at all. If you don't like it, it just takes a click to delete it. You will not see the hiring phenomenon stays on peak all the time.

You expressed exactly the frustration that led me to hack on jobs.code4lib.org in the first place. I know too many people struggling to find work, and to find work they love. As Dan Chudnov pointed out in his code4lib keynote this year, the library/archive profession is in the midst of a pretty big upheaval/transformation. So, the other goal of jobs.code4lib.org is to help document the skills and jobs that are in demand, to help educators teach their students relevant skills so that they can find jobs. I also wanted it to assist life long learners who were interested in refreshing their skillset. Ideas for improving the site are welcome in the issue trackers Github [1]. //Ed [1] https://github.com/code4lib/shortimer/issues

Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
Most of them come from the Shortime application that Ed Summers has been working on and posted about. It's over at jobs.code4lib.org. I don't really mind them. I've thought about just filtering out the emails ^Job: in the subject, but haven't actually bothered yet.

Re: [CODE4LIB] It's all job postings!
I made the same observation recently but decided to simply set up a filter. Pushing the jobs postings into a separate list seems like a worse solution. --jay PS, in a big-picture sense, it seems like a good problem to have.
