I would strongly suggest e.g. JSON or XML - if you can upload a website, the chance are that you could also create something like this. There would of course also be a template where absolute noobs could fill in the details and get correct output. With our current tools, implementing a clear text data storage seems like a pretty stupid idea - everyone would have to implement their own parsing. With e.g. JSON, there are libraries for every language and it has validation.
- FuzzyDunlop 14y agoYAML, or the format used by Python's configParser or PHP's INI files (don't know what it's called), might be easiest. Less syntax and formatting. I'm not so sure about the proposal itself, though. For local, small businesses, how much can we assume about technical ability? If they have to pay the people who did their website to keep it up to date, how can we be sure they'll use it?
- brittohalloran 14y agoYeah I have to second this. No "non-techie" person will be updating this on their own, for the simple fact that they need to upload it after their done or edit it via ftp... etc. A wordpress plugin would help, but it still lacks great visibility to the business owner.
