h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Like this one?

Ooo! I love hats and only have a very boring colelction of pork pie leather things, rastafarian glittery things, and Northern flat caps actually maybe quite an odd colelction wehn I think about it... which reminds me, I must* wear my rastafarian hat with the glitter, glass and fancy stiching tommorrow when I go to the beer fest, not worn that in ages.. I must check in actually see where the tech team is getting too with things

Just dropping by to say that the Interim Committee (or whatever we are now called) has put up an announcement about what we've been up to this week in the h2g2 future Announcements page. Conversation's here: F21546918?thread=8247518 and page is here: A85834173

pheew! i was glad of the cup of tea this morning with all this going on

More to the point, I'm so glad we had St John the Baptist - A blood relation of Jesus Christ - on our side. How could we lose?

See Mag, edition 2, Ed's comments.

Will any unedited entries be moving as well?

I'd hate to have to rebuild the S.H.A.D.O.W.Headquarters from scratch.A811810

I believe that all entries, edited and unedited, and all conversations will be moving. But I'm not 100% certain of that.

I just hope we get a better search facility as well.

"I believe that all entries, edited and unedited, and all conversations will be moving."

And deleted? If you can "undelete" an entry now, you should still be able to do it after the move.

Although prudence would suggest doing that now

The plan is to move *everything* "as is", the whole kit and caboodle, lock stock and barrel. but we'll let you know when we know.

As for the search engine... we've got some ideas for that too

"Although prudence would suggest doing that now" (kea)

I was thinking there might be "deleted" entries in the personal spaces of people who lost their accounts in the BBC iD debacle that people might want to recover if they get their accounts back after the move...

This will be interesting.

'The plan is to move *everything* "as is", the whole kit and caboodle, lock stock and barrel. but we'll let you know when we know.'

- Indeed, though there may have to be some caveats, for instance some researchers have stated that they *don't want* there material transferred, again we'll let you know when we know.

In fact that's the theme.

"We'll let you know when we know".

Just to make everyone I think we can say, "there are known knowns, and unknown knowns" With a lot of these types of questions, I think it comes down, I guess to the detail.... and I don't think any of us yet have got the really really fine detail yet from the BBC as regards what is and what isn't potentially in the DNA databasaes etc...

And the new search?! we must* have a new search... I vote that it is the 'nighthoover search facility'

Too late, it's the Electronic Data Distribution and Integration Engine.

Eddie for short.
