2008-04-06 20:58:28 Which columns should be retained? What should the sorting be? Where can we get a more complete list to work from? —JasonAller
The column in the spreadsheet:
| Location | Address | Phone Number | # Units | distance from campus | unitrans lines | website | phone | filled? | management company | waitlist starts on? | 1 BR 1 Bath | 2 BR 1 Bath | 2 BR 2 bath | 3 BR 1 Bath | 3 BR 2 Bath | Parking | Parking cost | water | garbage | electricity | gas | NWP bill(National Water and Power bill) | cable | dsl | cable modem | phone | lease length | appliances | last renovated? | carpet? Color? | davis model lease | parking sticker | Central AC | Central heat | AC window unit | heat wall unit | "switch between AC and heat | or under control of complex?" | noise level | cats allowed? | dogs allowed? | asbestos? | washer and dryer inside | coin operated washer/dryer | gyn | bike rack |
one alternative
| Name | Address | Phone Number | # Units | Managed by | Transportation | Parking | Costs | Last Updated | Utilities | Pets |
| ["XXX Apartments"] | 123 Blue Lane | 756-0000 | 110 | ["Company"] | by key | by key | $800/1,1 $900/2,1 | April 2008 | by key | by key |
where each key summarizes the topic
2008-04-06 21:37:46 Perhaps each row can be given its own wiki page (in a row template). The main page for each apt would then show the appropriate row, and the matrix would be built from all of the rows (in frames, perhaps?). So editing a row would automatically populate the matrix.
I would keep all of the columns, since you don't know what someone is really looking for. A checkbox or color key to help make the table more readable is a good idea. —IDoNotExist
2008-04-06 22:05:27 This would also be really good to do with a database backend, but as JW previously pointed out, the wiki isn't really designed around that. Perhaps there could be a web front end to a database which would be used to input data, and then wiki pages would build the appropriate table rows from the database. —IDoNotExist
