[edit] Picture-of-the-Day

I've re-added these because I think they provide an interesting insight into the workings of the respective wikipedias. It would be nice if we could do this for more of our sites, so as to get a wider perspective on what's happening on a day-to-day basis. The remover gave the reason as being connected to the "signal/noise ratio": I'm not actually certain how this works, maybe they could explain? If this is a problem for people, maybe we could arrange for tags so that people could filter down to those entries in which they are most interested. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 08:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I like them a whole lot and was most pleased to see them in the feed this morning - David Gerard 12:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the POTD feed to a single feed for all (currently three) projects. I hope this also resolves the problem that the images themselves didn't show up in the feed... actually, no HTML at all was included by the aggrgator. I put a lot of meta-info about the image itself into the feed, using various XML specs like RDF and FOAF - maybe planet doesn't like that. Or it just likes atom better. We'll see I guess. -- G.

Thank you! The new pictures-of-the-day / gallery-of-the-day looks great, the pictures come through looking lovely, and condensing all 3 in one daily feed item should hopefully reduce concerns about signal-to-noise ratios. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 01:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

That's an excellent idea, and should also make sure that if another set of images becomes available, they show up automagically. —Phil | Talk 08:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] time bug

This isn't a huge deal, but I find it a little frustrating that my posts a few other people's get timestamped hours earlier than they are posted, while some other people's posts end up timestamped hours later. Thus, the latest posts are not always at the top, and on busy days it's easy to lose track of some of the ones that start out 5 posts down.--ragesoss 18:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
