Hi Thiemo,
Thanks for the background information. I agree with these default
choices -- seems useful. Just two comments:
There may be an option to enter the precision as a number, if requested,
but I don't think this is necessary at this point.
I think the point is simply that it is not nice to have a wiki system
where some (useful) edits can not be made by normal people but only by
developers.
...
We currently have null values in the database. I tend to think of them
as "not yet entered". I'm not sure if we should "reject" this at any
point, I prefer to apply the auto-detection instead (so the answer is,
again, neither nor).
The problem is that auto-detection cannot be applied to the JSON data,
because the values there are double numbers. Auto-detection would
require the user input (decimal number string) to work. Therefore, we
now default to 1.0/3600 when seeing "null" precisions in the data.
Cheers,
Markus
