Hey Joel, We're actually getting some work done on Maps v2.x right now which we hope to forwardport to v3. Mostly polygon related stuff - smart labeling, hover, additional layers, autocenter, etc. I find it somewhat odd you are adding to this obsolete branch (at least from a dev perspective),

Hi Jeroen, I actually played around with the Maps 3.x and found it was going through major refactoring. And since NYCpedia is heavily dependent on polygons and there was already a pending auto-centering patch which we sorely needed, we decided to go with 2.x for now. We realize this will

Hi Jeroen, Indeed. I am not currently working on it, or planning to do so, in my free time. This doesn't sound good. Do you mean it would be possible for you to put effort in, if it is funded? Or that you don't have time at all? Are there other developers around that could take over/help out

Hey Bernhard, I could work on Maps in my free time but am not doing so as there are other more interesting projects at hand. You can of course hire me to work on it, as is true for any MediaWiki or PHP work. Since I'd like to see my first extension to continue being developed, I also consider

Hi Jeroen, it seems that the development of Maps and Semantic Maps has slowed down a bit recently? In my work for a first SMW installation in the City of Vienna I was asked whether (and how) it would be possible to use the Vienna mapping services instead of openlayer, google or yahoo. So we

We've once integrated Yandex maps to Extension:Maps. It was pretty easy, we needed just to inherit some classes and write a bit of javascript spaghetti. The code itself if very easy to read, IMO - Yury Katkov, WikiVote On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 7:21 PM, Krabina Bernhard krab...@kdz.or.at

Hey, It was pretty easy, we needed just to inherit some classes and write a bit of javascript spaghetti. It is actually preferred to not do the spaghetti part, even though this might appear to be the standard in the Maps JS at the moment :) Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://www.bn2vs.com
