- bitweaver

Version 29

Goal

The goal of this project is to create a package that lets you edit a Google Map like a wiki, with some Flickr integration thrown in for spice.

This will take the best features of sites like WikyBlog-Maps, VirtualGoogleEarth, and GeoBloggers and merge them in to a package for hosting your own wikimap rather than having to use the existing services which are limited to their hosting, their feature implementation, and their look and feel.

A Road Map for the package is well underway. You can find it below. The engine will have to make extensive use of AJAX.

If you want to join in I'm not a professional programmer, but have faith, this is going to be sweet. If you do want to help out, well I guess you can email me wjames5 -at - nyc.rr.com or find me on irc #bitweaver.

Some Other Useful Stuff

Puzzles

Caching Styles

Markers will have to have a way to track back to maps using their content and styles for caching purposes.

Loose Bits

These are loose ends created that will eventually need to hook up with other parts of the package:

Permission variables referenced but not created yet:

bit_p_read_bitmap

created based on SamplePackage - not clear that it is needed
REF IN
- index.php

bit_p_view_bitmap

intended for alowing viewing of map page
REF IN
- bit_setup_inc.php

Templates referenced but not created yet:

menu_bitmap.tpl

not sure what it is for
SAME AS menu_blogs.tpl
REF IN
- bit_setup_inc.php

Files from Wiki edited for bitMapki:
