[Noisebridge-discuss] Social Network Hacking

[Patrick Keys]

Problem is our wiki... most pages are simply lists.  But the wiki is not 
database-driven so there's no way to use those lists.

I'm in the process of setting up a noisebridge database on our other 
webserver, pony.noisebridge.net .

A priority of setting up the database is a table of noisebridge 
visitors.  It will be voluntary, like the users page on the noisebridge 
wiki.  It will have a column for a thumbnail.

As for check-in, the next major version of my noisebridge app (already 
for android, soon for iphone) will have foursquare integration using the 
foursquare api.
