Usermap SVN and improvement

[Christian Willmes]

Hi folks,

I felt like setting up an SVN-Repository for the OSGeoUsermap [1] [2],
because I think the map is not "really" a state of the art OS Webmaping
application (at least from its appearance).
Considering that OSGeo is to a large degree all about webmaping, I think
it would be good to have a state of the art or even better usermap
application.
So I ask if anybody is willing to help me to improve that app.
I am happy about any kind of help, may it be suggestions for improvement
at all or programming something cool.

The repository is reachable here: http://svn.christian-willmes.de/usermap

Anybody who is willing to work on this can contact me to get write
access to the repository.

Its just a starting point for opensourcing it. ;-) I would have no
problem to put the code repository on an "official" osgeo server with a
trac wiki and so for further development.

In the moment it is a very small app, we can build something entirely
new within the borders of the mediawiki parser hooks, and the existing
user postgis table.

So! I would appreciate any kind of feedback and suggestions for
improvement and of course programming effort if somebody is willing to.
Don't hesitate to punish me for my terrible programming practice... I
know it, and because of this we can only improve it, it can't get worse
from here. ;-)

best regards,
Christian

Christian,
thanks for your help and you should not belittle what you have done. It is definitely more than we had before. :-)

I am not sure whether this list is the best to make this announcement, maybe you should try the main Discuss list. Further stuff can be discussed here for the time being but many on Discuss are not subscribed here or even aware of this list.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
