Help Required in jQuery
by Dineshkumar Ponnusamy 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

Hi, Am trying to implement a cool feature of "Predictive text for Indic Languages", am planning to start with Tamil. I got some idea from Santosh (Language Engineering Team), if I can find some buddy who can help me with coding in jQuery its awesome. Our aim is to modify the jQuery.ime (https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime) as a chrome/ Firefox extension in order to support the "prediction and spell check" support. I know little bit of programming with jQuery and JavaScript. Interested candidates let me know, may be could catch up tomorrow sometime ? Thanks, Dinesh

Change in stay at Hilton
by Subhashish Panigrahi 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hi, I have been trying to reach to make a request for my stay at Hotel Hilton Reforma. I had asked the event organizer for the check in on July 15 but the document containing hotel check in/check out details says it is 14th. I am writing to list to check if it is possible to shift my check in and check out dates one day ahead i.e. check in on 15th and check out on 22nd without any additional charges. Will really appreciate for any help in this regard. Thanks Subha

One Ciudad de Mexico Alameda on Wed 15 Jul
by Takashi OTA 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hi all, I have a booking starting Thursday 16 July at One Ciudad de Mexico Alameda, but it was my fault as I will arrive at Mexico City on Wednesday 15. I tried to make an extra reservation at One Ciudad on Wednesday but it's already full. Does anybody have a vacant bed (only) on Wednesday, for example, your buddy will arrive later or something like that? (Either One Ciudad or any other close hotel would be OK.) Thanks in advance, --Takashi ([[User:Takot]])
