Space-delimited things is a command-line thing: $ perl ./blah.pl "argument 1" arg2 arg3 etc.
So, yeah, we are coming up with some test cases and unit tests to go with. [ san francisco ] => what to do here? [ a b "c d" ] => probably 3 tags. [ a b, c d ] => probably 2 tags. [ a b ] => ?? And so on. I'm thinking of changing that "(space delimited)" thing to be a clickable widget to let you change the default, and someday future new users will default to comma, or something like that. As for network, we plan to do something like that. I would like to expose more of your social sphere throughout more of the site. The problem with it is that organizing the data for that is quite hard... As an aside, I don't get the point of OPML; seems way overcomplicated and underspecified for something that doesn't seem very complicated... > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 8:35 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ydn-delicious] Re: starting del 2.0 and more > communication from me > > > Joshua Schachter writes: > > Dots: people that wrong way too often (I see "de.licio.us" and > > "deli.cio.us" way more often than I would like) and I'm really > > wondering if we should just primarily move to delicious.com > (and make > > del.icio.us redirect properly or work etc) > > > > On commas vs spaces: I am thinking of letting it be default spaces > > (for long-time users) or default commas (for new users) or perhaps > > some middle ground guessing, if the user does [ w x "y z" ] > or [ w, x, > > y z ] etc. > > I like the middle-ground guessing idea; if the user uses the > "wrong" form > -- [ w, x, y z ], in my opinion, *COMMAS SUCK* ;) -- accept > the input, but issue a minor warning about it.
