To: Jeff Meyer <[email protected]> :) You bet I would have wanted to be there! In general, I have let Wikimaps rest for a few months to see how things are developing. It seems like a good moment to pick up speed again. I updated the design document in Commons yesterday a bit (and will continue) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimaps/Design The Warper control points has it's own doc https://drive.google.com/open?id=1K6EsDHVUJS4q_8T6U1UXOoCQQzRnjc71UJrhzIhW6BI&authuser=0 There is a presentation that explains the work flow in Commons (hefty web doc) http://wikimaps-dev.github.io/warperdocs/ An extended presentation shows the new interface more thoroughly and explains content goals http://wikimaps-dev.github.io/Iberoconf/ The mockups can be viewed more quickly in https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8tb0t7i71on3wxf/AACdxyE-XDjS35spVt7C8mlea?dl=0 They have not been updated lately, and I hope to work on them soon.
