Hi Ed, thank you for your work, it is very nice job! I have one comment: some job description too lengthy to show up in one screen size, so I have to move the map downside to see the top of the rescription. After I close the window the map doesn't jump back to the original viewport. There is a JS

Hi Péter, I probably didn't explain myself very well at 2am :-) The Google Map was just meant as a demonstration of the underlying geo coordinates in the job data (exposed as georss in the Atom feed). Eventually I would like to get a map working on jobs.code4lib.org using LeafletJS [1] or some

Hi Gary, Great idea, and it was easy to implement. For example you can now get tag related feeds: http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/tag/digital-preservation/ http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/tag/python/ http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/tag/web-archiving/

Hi Chris, the only think I could add to your work is a tip for display. It works with Mapstraction library (http://mapstraction.com/) and it is attributed to Adam Duvander, he described it in Map Scripting 101 (No Stratch Press, 2010) pp. 109-110. The following snippet saves the position of the
