Not at all, eightonedee.

I did note that spelling, but I chose not to amend it. For some reason, grahame sometimes uses the American spelling of words, rather than our own King's English. I can't think why.

See wikipedia here for details.

CfN.

 
You missed changing "draughted" to "drafted" CfN! 

 

Very useful.

OK - I have a json feed running ... replace the article number in this URL with the thread / topic number.   Throttled to only return "Pen and Quill" threads.

Blimey!  My 'interfering' seems to have actually helped grahame: whatever next? 

 

Thanks - that edit help me test the first step of my API

Yep - looks like it's a start.

 
Pen and Quill

A writers and editorial area in which content can be draughted, amended and polished for display on other sites.  Originating as an experiment called "Green Park" for environemtal environmental issues - the experiment concluded years ago, but the concept works well - this board is being repurposed and I'm planning to use it to feed into other sites.

The "Pen and Quill" will be open to Transport Scholars (and their ranks include moderators and admins) to contibure contribute to just as "How Stuff Works" is. However, the content of each thread will be available in public through an API so that I (and others) can share the lead article from each thread to a wider audience. There is a degree of further experimentation and development to be done here - my initial project being for the Melksham Transport User Group where a major newsletter is overdue and the various articles may best be "fed" though a medium on which edits and experience can be easily fed in.

P.S. - the long name is "The Pen, Quill and Keyboard" as this area is intended to become useful for keyboard contributors to social media feeds and websites ... primarily I'll be using it as a tool of feed the Melksham Transport User Group and wider area transport groups but I'll be able to provide a public interface for others to tap into it too. While content is being written, the "Pen and Quill" content is not public - that way articles will be able to be licked into shape and held here until the embargo is released


Edit note: Well, as this is an 'editorial' area, I've taken the opportunity to amend a couple of grahame's 'trademark typos': I wonder how either of those got through the spellcheck.    CfN.
