Re: Future of OW Personal Predictions and OWC
|
Hi Tony, I will try to explain more about OWC and how it functions at the IOTA meeting. 'Planned Event' doesn't really fall into the idea of tags as this does not explain *why* someone has decided to observe it in first place, but there is also more to it. Also if everything functions OWC will always have all predictions that currently anyone could decide to publish as Personal and will also have a better (or qually good in the worst case) prediction based on JPL elements. OWC will also have eventually other non JPL based predictions as well that can be used for comparison. Based on this everything that someone currently may want to publish as a Personal prediction sould be already on OWC and a better prediction will be available there, too. So the only issue is how those events get tagged so they become visible to OW users. I would like to solve this problem first and if it is solved well there will be no need for 'Personal' predictions to be shared any longer. This is why I decided not to disrupt all people publishing Personal Predictions (as initially planned) as this is currently useful functionality and it is better to see if it can change more naturally. If you are interested to maintain a feed (not just personal predictions) and tag events with your own tag, this is a separare thing. Write to me directly if you are interested in this and I will include you in the first trials when I get to that point. This email probably doesn't answer all of your questions. I wish I could do that in a simple emial but it will take a lot more and a lot longer to explain the whole concept I have in mind. As it is also develping and changing constantly, which also makes it even harder. My best advice is to please give feed back on changes and features that have been already implemented and released as this will help me understand the level of usefulness they provide (or don't) and will better direct my efforts. Cheers, Hristo.

Hristo, ? I¡¯m not sure I understand your message below about automatic tagging.? Would you mean automatic tagging as a Planned Event?? I am sure that I don¡¯t understand how to make tagging work for me, so one of the reasons why I continue to make my own personal predictions.? Here is a suggestion: ? For those of us who continue to make our own personal predictions, if we post them to OW as an event we intend to observe, let OW upload it to the OWC and compare against your OWC predictions.? If there is a match, then post (tag?) your OWC prediction as a Planned Observation.? Then others, who rely on localized personal predictions can also have the benefit of both the localized prediction and OWC? ? Thanks for all the work you do. ? Tony George Scottsdale, AZ ?

After further thoughts I decided to postpone the changes to Personal Predictions. ? I would like to first implement automatic tagging on OWC which could automatically publish all events that are usually published as personal predictions. If this is the case then the use of Personal Predictions for sharing predictions with others will become unnecessary as those prediction will be already available in OW, or at least this is my thinking at the moment. ? If there are still more events not tagged automatically by OWC which are published as Personal Predictions then they will form a good case for further review and consideration, but until then I will focus my efforts on different parts of OWC and OW ?
