Hey Jaakko,

Thanks for passing this along. I couldn't agree more that Umap starts to fill 
an urgently needed "missing piece" : custom OSM-based cartography for 
non-GISers.

The current incarnation is looking stronger than 0.2. Still some buttons and 
interfaces clearly built by nerds, for nerds, but overall I like where this is 
going.

One big missing element I see is the export to PNG / JPEG. Web maps are all 
nice and fine, but print is still hugely important, particularly in 
low-bandwidth enviroments.

Cheers,
Robert

This might interest some people on these lists (that are not subscribed to 
talk@ or dev@).
I think umap is a much needed missing piece for making it easy to create 
customized OSM-based "my maps".
The instances at openstreetmap.fr<http://openstreetmap.fr> and 
fluv.io<http://fluv.io> are great for those of us (Iike me) who are not able to 
install umap for themselves.
Big thanks for Yohan for developing this!

Cheers,
-Jaakko

Hi open world family,

I've frozen a 0.3.0 version of uMap [1] (including new versions of the Leaflet 
plugin [2] and the Django app [3]).


Here are the main entries of the changelog:

* possibility to create map without being authenticated

This option has to be activated per uMap instance (at the moment, it's active 
on http://umap.fluv.io but not on http://umap.openstreetmap.fr for example).
Once the map created "anonymously", a cookie allow the owner to edit it later, 
and a "secret edit URL" is provided, that allow to enter the edit mode again, 
from another computer or if the cookie is lost

* first version of an export data possibility ; for now, only GeoJSON is 
available.

* first version of import from CSV

* autocompletion for managing map editors
* possibility to display map caption on load
* possibility to import from a copy/paste in a textarea
* Update to Leaflet 0.6 and Leaflet.draw 0.2
* Update to Django 1.5
* Portuguese translation (thanks to @FranciscoDS)
* new custom icons
* localization of URLs
* partial Spanish and Dutch translations
* bug fixes as usual (title too longs creating a buggy slug; category colors 
not displayed in caption/credit box; managing color buggy in Chrome on 
windows...)


Current known public instances:
- http://umap.fluv.io (demo site, not backuped, use it for testing)
- http://umap.openstreetmap.fr (backuped, feel free to use it for production 
needs)
- http://umap.openstreetmap.org.ar (still in 0.2.0 at the moment)

If you plan to set up an instance, feel free to ask for help, I will provide it 
with pleasure :)


As always:
- feedback welcome
- feature requests welcome
- pull requests welcome
- translations welcome
- new instances welcome (the more instances, the less centralization, the 
better)


Thanks for your feedback,


Yohan
