Re: [OSM-dev] Summer of Code 2011 Ideas
Hi Graham, I've just added this to the idea page. Regards, Zhijie On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 3:09 PM, Graham Jones grahamjones...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Zhijie, Thank you for your interest in applying!

Afterwards, OSM can add a phone/video layer to show the multimedia. How do you think about this?

Re: [OSM-dev] Summer of Code 2011 Ideas
Hi Ian, I have added a couple of ideas - not much detail but they are relatively simple - both targeted towards making it easier for non-programmers to make maps using mapnik. One is a stylesheet generation tool, and the other a system to package the toolchain to run mapnik on a number of operating systems. Regards Graham.
