History of GmapPackage

The goal of this project is to create a package that lets you edit a [http://maps.google.com|Google Map] like a wiki, with some Flickr integration thrown in for spice.

A Road Map for the package is well underway. You can find it on [http://mapki.com/index.php?title=GMap_Wikimap_Project|this wiki page] which for now is going to be the main development page as it is known to the GMap dev community. But when coding begins I'll probably move everything over here. Right about the same time I learn how to use a CVS.

BTW - if you think that page is a mess or something, well, I wouldn't be surprised, as [http://www.wjamesphoto.com|photography] and [http://www.wjamesdesign.com|design] are more my thing. But damn, I can make [http://www.onnyturf.com/subwaymap.php|a pretty map].

Ok, if you want to join in you've been warned, 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 the bitweaver irc thing.
