Hello all,
I'm new to the list and a beginner at QGIS and I live in Massachusetts, USA. I'm looking for a developer to help me develop a website. I can pay a little bit, so if you are interested, please let me know and we can explore the possibilities. I'm 68 and teaching myself the code and software but I'm slow and forgetful and realized I should turn to others who are fast and remember what they learned yesterday. I have built a website utilizing scanned historical maps, overlays, tiling, georeferencing, and OpenLayers. Eventually I will add video and text popups. I need help to add the ability to print the maps at any zoom layer with any layer transparency setting. I believe that QGIS is capable of the server-sided programming needed to assemble the tiles and return the image for printing or saving. I will be showcasing the lifework of an 80 year old cartographer who has hand drawn about 50 maps focused on the Brookfield, MA area of New England. I have QGIS 2.2 installed on my home machine but have yet to learn how to incorporate my existing map tiles. I'm slowly learning, but given the age of my subject, I have to speed it up. Hence, my reaching out to your group. I'm not a programmer, this is a hobby and a volunteer effort. I'm comfortable using Dreamweaver, Javascript, HTML, OpenLayers, Google Maps API, and MapTiler. What I ask of you, if you can, is to give me a quote for consulting support and creating a template in QGIS that I can use to create both the client and server side to provide this research tool. If you feel that QGIS is not the best tool for this, please suggest another direction. >From what I have found so far, this should work and I'm impressed with the knowledge and support I've witnessed in this group over the past several weeks. To view the map work I've done so far, visit my site, www.brookfieldsresearch.com navigate to the Maps section and explore. select the "Robert Wilder Maps" option. That will bring up a list of his maps. The ones I've scanned and uploaded so far are linked for viewing. I've not yet added video or audio narration on each map, but that's easily done. Mostly, I need the user to be able to print the screen results at any zoom or transparency level. Thanks for your time, I hope we can work something out. I'm learning by reading your posts, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Regards, Dan Hamilton [email protected]
