By the way, any idea for a dedicated domain name?
How about http://wlmmap.org/ ?
It's good, but I think it's a bit too closely tied to the event, while
the web service I'm building will (hopefully) be of some interest even
after the event.
Focus for now on building the map for Wiki Loves Monuments
(http://map.wikilovesmonuments.org ?) . Use the lessons learned after
September to turn it in a more general tool.
What about http://panoramap.org ?
After September.
The service I want to provide at the end is this:
1. display a world map of the whole WLM database
Of course, can you load all the contents to see if it works?
2. allow to filter by country
Not needed in September, people can zoom on the map.
3. allow to filter by language
Not needed in September, we should however have the interface in
multiple languages. Is your code in open repository? Did you take i18n
into account?
4. allow to filter by monuments with/without picture
That's a clear use case for September
5. allow to filter by monuments with/without wp article
Not needed for September
6. let users log in
7. let users follow each others (asymmetrically)
8. let users create a "watchlist" for monuments they plan
to take pictures for
9. let users see the whatchlists of each others.
All nice, but not needed for September.
When is the hard deadline to get the map ready?
Before September otherwise it can't be advertised and linked to from the
different sources. In my opinion you should focus on this very limited
feature set and do it really well. Be aware of scope creep. Beware of
scale, you won't be the first with a completely overloaded server in
September.
I will focus on 1-4 first, hope to get this ready for september 1st.
This is not easy: I solved the problem of not sending requests to the
toolserver each time a map is displayed but I want to solve these two
other challenges:
- load and display the database *asynchronously*
- store thumbnails so that pictures are instantly displayed.
Please share you code and documentation on how you're doing this
exactly. Me or others might be able to help.
I will work on this full time three days next week.
Awesome!!!!
Maarten
