Hi Andrew and Jamie, Nice to hear that you found the Liverpool Arches Workshop useful.
You asked several specific questions about extending v4: 1) Is it possible to create plugins/widgets/add-ons that can be applied to the basemap in Arches? - for example, is there a menu within Arches or would this have to be created externally? Answer: Yes, you can create or extend widgets in v4. In particular, you could support the ability to drag pins from a menu onto a map and save the location of the pins back to the Arches database. The specific technical steps are pretty straightforward. To start, I suggest that you take a look at the existing map widget to see how the it manages data creation/saving/indexing. This may be enough for you to see how to extend the widget. At a minimum, you'll be in a position to ask specific technical questions.
