"Hi David, thanks - could you be a bit more specific on the errors you are getting? I've just typed in that postcode and got a Ladywood ward page back. It's on an odd cloud-hosting environment and occasionally comes back with obscure errors. Also - I just upgraded the search to web_solr, so it does now return results for that (and many more) searches: http://bccdiy.com/pages...]... Please bear in mind that we haven't written _any_ content on the site yet - this is the point of the hack day, and turning the site into a wiki. If you (or anyone else) could give me a list of the top things you'd want to do on the site then we can design around those needs. Thank you Stef" - Stef Lewandowsdki

"Hi Edgar - I'm trying to do a very similar thing: write a backup script that automatically uploads anything with a 'star' and not the tag 'backedup' to Amazon S3. Automator would then handle the upload and set 'backedup' on the successful images.I can't believe I'm finding this quite so difficult however. Let's share results - let me know how you get on, good luck and thanks for the script!" - Stef Lewandowsdki
