I may have found a slightly better way to run journal surveys. It’s inspired by the discussions of the journal wiki here and here.

I found a spreadsheet plugin for WordPress that may resolve some of the issues discussed in those posts, but I want to post a spreadsheet in this post and see what it looks like.

It turns out, I can set this up (I think) so that the spreadsheet can be edited by anyone in real time. See if you can edit it.

   What is this plugin? I’m looking for something like this! Been searching for days! Does it have a search feature? I need to create a database/spreadsheet that users can enter info into, then search easily. Google works for the first part, not the second.

   I changed B4 from 2 to 7, so it seems to work.

   Looks like I can edit it too. Very cool! The Phil Journal Wiki definitely needs some updating. You’ll probably discuss this, but would you be planning on getting all the data from the current Wiki? And is there a way to prevent robots from editing this thing? The current Wiki has the Captcha things.

   Hey–I changed C3 from 5 to 3—I think most comments are “less useful” than people think, so my change reflects that philosophy…. 😉 Just a little Psych humor for the Philosophy guys…..

   Josh,

   Those are two very good points. If I get this up and running, I was planning on porting the data from the phil journal wiki.

   Regarding spam bots. That’s the one thing I haven’t figured out yet. I think I can do captcha to access a page in wordpress. I might try that. None of the plugins I’ve looked at have built in captcha.

   Would you mind telling me what the name of this “Spreadsheet Plugin for Journal Surveys” is. I would immensely appreciate it.

   Thanks.
