[OWW-Discuss] Google Sitemap and Search

[Bill Flanagan]

Thanks to Reshma's suggestion and Ricardo providing the firm hand on the
tiller to navigate through the treacherous waters of enabling MediaWiki's
support for Google SiteMaps, they now are enabled.

This should move content locations to Google much faster and efficiently
than it was done in the past. We initially have the period for update set
for 1 day but will move it up to a higher number when the process is stable.


The next step is to make it easier to use Google to  search. We're adding  a
"Google Search" icon directly to the search box. We're working on this now.

We are not planning on disabling either the "Go" or "Search" buttons.

If anyone has any comments, questions, or suggestions, let me know.

Thanks.

Bill Flanagan
