Hi Will,
there are two viable ways to move forward:
- setup Marble on your system according to [1], implement the features
yourself, test and submit patches at [2]
- create tasks in [3] such that people like upcoming GSoC students
looking for hands-on tasks [4] have something to work on
The former requires some time and C++ skills on your side, the latter
means waiting until someone picks up the tasks.
Regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for getting back. I think you're suggestion is a very good one
and so who should I speak to start getting this implemented?
All the best from index.home.raft [1] ,
Will

Hi Will,
the 3words => location conversion could be realized easily as a
search runner plugin. The hostip plugin [1] is pretty similar and
could be used as a base.
Converting a GPS location to a 3words code could be done by
extending our "copy coordinates" action. Currently it copies
directly to the clipboard, but we could bring up a dialog instead
which would offer different variants (e.g. DMS, Decimal, geouri,
what3words).
Looking forward to a patch, awesome.like.marble [2] ;-)
Regards,
Dennis

Hi Marble developers,
I spoke briefly with Albert Vaca, the maintainer of KDE Connect,
who
referred me this email address.
I'm not sure if you have heard of what3words, but essentially we
are a
way of referring to any location in the world in an accurate and
easily communicable way. We divided the world into 57 trillion 3m
x
3m squares, and then assigned a unique 3 word address to every
square.
So while I am writing to you from our office at index.home.raft
[1] ,
the entrance to the Sydney Opera House is at spoon.belong.vote [2]
.
Every single 3m x 3m square on the world's surface has a 3 word
address in this way.
This is useful when trying to express your location or trying to
navigate or deliver things to poorly addressed areas (most of the
world).
We have an open API which simply converts 3 word addresses into
GPS
coordinates, and vice-versa. It would be great to talk about the
possibility of integrating this into Marble.
Please feel free to get in touch if this sounds like something
you
would be interested in.
Best,
Will Johnston
