I have a proposal to enrich ZIM with a possibility to attach geographical
locations in form of tags. For instance any page could contain one or many
tags @geoloc:50.1859600N, 16.5099800E. These tags should be filtered out
from notebook and processed by a plugin. I am willing to work on the plugin
with some help in form of hints. The output could be a KML file, which shows
all @geoloc tags from the notebook on a digital map for instance in
GoogleEarth. The pin defined in KML file would contain information about a
namespace to the page. Thank you for any feedback and suggestions.
I think it can be a nice feature if you want to store data that is
geographically linked.
Technical remark from my side is that I'm not sure it should be a tag.
Rather have it as a separate object (e.g. encoded as: {{geoloc:
50.1859600N, 16.5099800E}} ) and have the plugin take care how that
object is rendered.
Doing that the right way you will need code from the pyzim-next
branch, which unfortunately I still have not had time to commit :(
But first version could just leave the raw syntax in the page and
index it when generating the KML file.

Jaap
