Hi John and other members,
As an enthusiastic hiker/mountaineer I have been thinking how nice would
it be to have pictures of guideposts/signs available on the map. That
would make the planning easier as guideposts usually say exact walking
time or at least distance. This thinking lead me to discover
openstreetview project.
I would like to discuss possible extensions to openstreetview.
1) Improve github issue 14 - "Better distribution on thumbnails on the
map" - something like offered by
https://github.com/danzel/Leaflet.markercluster would be the goal.
2) Create possibility to categorize/tag pictures on openstreetview and
allow filtering only for pictures from category/subcategory such as
"hiking guideposts".
I can on average volunteer two evenings per week to help with
development. I did quite some PHP/SQL development, so I know the basics.
I would still need to get into Rails, but that should not be so difficult.
Two main questions I have are:
1) Is database dump publicly available. Without real data it would be
very difficult to do anything especially for issue 14.
2) How much time does John has for reviewing commits and associated
discussion. I would start with minor changes and slowly continue towards
the bigger one.
Happy new year,
Radek
