Just wanted to give a heads up on some work I've been doing on the Maps tab and search workflows and invite reviews.
http://github.com/sbenthall/geonode/commits/mapsearch The changes are covered by http://projects.opengeo.org/CAPRA/ticket/636 The gist was: make Maps searchable with a similar user interaction workflow and views as the Data tab. Work on this is mostly done. Big thanks to Luke, whose Data code formed the foundation of it all, and Ariel, who told me how to do the keyword filter query in Django. The main known thing that remains (besides a bug or two which I intend to leave to the end because they can be hammered out after the beta release) is integration with what's in the works regarding Map points of contact. From the user's perspective, this amounts to having the Contacts column contain the names of a Map's point of contact, with a link to that person's profile. -- Sebastian Benthall OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org
