Old description:
> Add support for the [http://openlayers.org/ OpenLayers] JavaScript map
> API.
New description:
The form provided by !GeoDjango for geometry fields
(`django.contrib.gis.forms.fields.GeometryField`) is just a simple text
box that accepts textual representations of geometries. The way admin
currently generates its map forms is functional, but not really suited for
general-purpose use. In particular, the map widget is generated
dynamically by `GeoModelAdmin.get_map_widget()`. For better API
consistency with the rest of Django, there should be reusable map editing
widgets.
Because the geographic admin already uses [http://openlayers.org/
OpenLayers], the default widgets should be written using it. It should be
general enough to make supporting alternative geometry frameworks
possible, however, !OpenLayers support is the priority.
Doing this will hopefully make fixing related tickets, like #9806,
easier.
