Hi everyone, Hope all of you are doing great. About Me
I am Fawad Ali, selected as a student for Google Summer of Code. Currently enrolled in the 6th semester at University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila. I am a resident of Pakistan currently living in the city of Rawalpindi. It is a great honor to have been selected and have a chance to work with XWiki. :) *Profiles* GitHub - https://github.com/9inpachi LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fawadaliq/ Riot - @ginpachi:matrix.org I will be presenting my project "Map Application" to all of you. Following are the relevant details. Map Application *Mentors: *Stéphane Laurière, Ecaterina Moraru *Technologies:* JavaScript, Velocity, Java, Leaflet, other if required Overview This project is about the development of interactive maps in XWiki. Creation of an application within XWiki that will allow users to generate interactive maps which support collaboration and are easy to create so that locations can be shared, and areas can be associated with structured data. This application will open several possibilities that can be utilized within XWiki and broaden the overall scope by allowing map rich wikis where locations and areas can be presented in a way that will increase the understandability of data. It will also allow for the sharing of custom map related data which would be very helpful since users and admins will be able to present locations in an information rich map environment which will be interactive. Features > *Markers and popups* - Place markers anywhere on the map and associate popups with them. > *Path between two points* - A path will be generated by the application linking two points of interest. > *Location search* - Search any location on the map. > *Filtered list maps* - Allow the user to search for a specific kind of place (e.g. restaurants) and get a list of locations to choose from. Through the content available and binded to a location, the user will be able to learn some aspects of the location. > *Custom shapes* - Custom shapes can be used to highlight a specific area for representation. The content associated with these shapes can give useful information about the area. > *Indoor maps* - Such maps will be able to describe the internal structure or fair plan of a building or structure. They can be used to guide users in a big building and locate point of interests. > *Maps on mobile* - Special design arrangements will be made for easily viewing of maps and availing all the features of the application on mobile devices. > *Custom map backgrounds* - Custom backgrounds will make the environment of interactive maps much suitable for a specific purpose If you have any features in mind that will make the Map Application better please feel free to reply to this mail. This is all for the summary of the project, if you want to have a more deeper insight, please check out the full proposal. *Project Proposal: * https://drive.google.com/open?id=14qXC7Oy2bPUASfVtSTIsNG1sPcfm5Ikr Thanks for reading through the mail.
