Hi Pat, I’ll post a preview of the final next week with stats for both Tipp & Kilkenny.

Thanks

Google Docs does have version control for spreadsheets that is a start…

Can you interface with an api though?

Yeah, I dont think the wiki approach is the way. The whole point of a wiki is that anyone can say/edit anything. In this way each editor adds their interpretation to each article and a consensus of all such contributions becomes the article.

For a database the approach would simply be, for each match, to record the source (eg the Indo) and use it to make a ‘provisional’ entry for the that match. The next editor then adds data from the Irish Times, for example, and so on until you can be certain of the teamsheets and match details OR you run out of sources.

For example for the 2008 All-Ireland final:
indo, times, examiner, kk people and then Munster Express.

You dont need any great software to do this. All it would require would be a single button on each match page - which exports the match data to a CSV file.

The user edits the CSV file and returns it, via email or as an upload, to an admin and the admin replaces the original with the update. And updates the website accordingly

A collaborative effort would be a great approach; however I’m not aware of any software that supports a multi-user editing of a underlying database. That’s not really what wikis are meant for.

If I could afford to take a month off work, I might come up with something :sigh.

In the meantime let’s see what Google come up with.

Any ideas about how you might get the ball rolling with that aim?

It would seem to me that it would require a lot more than one or two fellas tapping in scores and results ocassionally - probably requiring a wiki-style effort and lots of volunteers.
