My three step plan for developing the Simple Map MediaWiki extension (<map> tag) :
1) Disable the old syntax (with '|' chars) after we've finished changing all pages on the OSM wiki. Same with the slippy map plugin 2) Add support for 'layer=mapnik' and other layers. Use ojw's new 'GetMap' instead of his old 'MapOf' service, and maybe get the static maps service hosted at a better URL. 3) Take over wikipedia and then the world Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason wrote > Just installing an extension on Wikimedia and pulling tiles from OSM > would not be acceptable: > > * Wikimedia would need its own updated Planet dump > * Its own tile rendering infrastructure Not necessarily. They could maybe just run the static image requests (and possibly even slippy map tile requests) via wikimedia's beefy squid proxy set-up. I think that was Tim Starling's idea when I chatted to him about it. But that was a while ago. Yes we should probably raise the discussion on wikitech-l (although this is step 3) Ed Loach wrote > Funnily enough I've just been amending some wiki pages which used the old <map> syntax where z= or zoom= where allowed; the new syntax only supports z=. Sorry that was bug. Fixed now, although there's no harm in switching all pages to use 'z' Harry Wood _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
