[Wikitech-l] Zurich Hackathon: Creating a map namespace

2014-03-05 Thread Jon Robson
This may be extremely ambitious, but I'm keen to kick off development
around the creation of a map namespace during the Zurich hackathon.

The goal would be to setup an editable map namespace that could be
used for a variety of things, one of which would be adding a map view
to the Special:Nearby page provided via the mobile site. The goal is a
proof of concept not necessarily anything production ready (but that
would be great if we could get to that point!)

Please let me know if you would also be interested on hacking such a
thing - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Hackathon_2014/Geo_Namespace
- or if doing so would be a terrible idea (but if you have to go down
that route please provide constructive reasoning on what would be a
less terrible idea)

Excited to hack on cool things in Zurich!

This is awesome.  I have a decent amount of experience with different
technologies that we could use to build maps and present them both
statically through our cache layers and dynamically for editors.  Let's
kick this project's butt in Zurich.
