Orlando Dining
In LA I had built a wiki, ordered by dining category, of all the notable places I’d eaten and of information gleaned from chowhound about places I wanted to try. It was rewarding, a lot of people found it through google, but it was a pain to maintain. Wikis are even more fertile ground for link spammers than blog comments. In one instance a page was overwritten so many times that I lost the edit history and a ton of data.
I started the wiki for Orlando, but it’s suffering from the same problems. For now I’m going to try to replicate that functionality through Backpack. It won’t have the anyone-can-edit benefit of a wiki, but the truth is that I think the LA restaurant wiki was edited once by someone who wasn’t me and who wasn’t a spammer.Here’s the backpack-driven list of Orlando Restaurants. I’d love to hear suggestions if you’ve got any.

The link looks like your private link to the page, not the public one. Can you take a look?

I hear ya re: the wiki. I started an Orlando wiki a while back but since I was bad about getting the word out and it languished and I was the only one posting anything. Then the wiki software had a security issue so instead of updating it I just put a .htaccess on it to require login so nobody could get to it. I keep saying I’ll revive it one day…
