Re: [CODE4LIB] Very frustrated with Drupal

2014-05-14 Thread Barnes, Hugh
Ah, yep. I've never done a full rant about Drupal because it would take days and run into many virtual pages. I gave it a good go, almost full time, for a couple of years, even went to a regional conference. It's a train wreck beyond that first easy 80% – especially if you care about detail – b

Point of logic: the fact that you (or others) find them useful is orthogonal to whether they should be from the same source. That was the original question. No, wait, it was about discussing (discussing) whether they should be together :) -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mai

Take back my distinction between job postings and discussion! By extension, shall we say that if they are posted here, they are fair game for ridicule, expressing interest, +1, and other kinds of comment? (For clarity, the tone of this email is: possibly provocative, not entirely serious)

It's not conversation though, it's more like broadcast. Surely I don't have to explain on this particular list why this channel is not the perfect broadcast outlet. Further, it's quite distinct "subject" matter. Let me not generalise about librarians, but don't these ideas resonate?: * separat

Hi An exercise we've just been through (don't ask!) has revealed a dire need to track information about subscription service vendors (e.g. serials, databases, e-book publishers) in a better way than Office documents. I am looking for a tool, ideally one to rule them all. Throwing it out here.

For RNG, as long as your schema is reachable and referenced correctly, it looks like this should work: http://validator.nu . Please let us know how you find it. Nothing known or found in a quick scan for Schematron. Somewhat surprised at the apparent lack of options. Cheers Hugh Barnes Digital
