Hi folks,
Tim, it's map-warper not map-wraper :-)
However you are not the first in making this mistake and I really like
"MapWrapper" the name, and a few groups in India think that this is a
better way to think about how a map wraps around the world, as opposed to
maps warping.

Hello,
I wondering why the new template support the old KML-overlay.
I think i'm missing the point here, but the warper has a KML output which
works nicely in google earth but the subset of kml support in google maps
is very poor, (and non existent in their new maps offering)
But maps-wraper need some modification like I mention before.
*Uploading file from Commons over an URL parameter (!!)
*replacing image ID number by image name from commons (!)
*remove User-accounts or usage of O-Auth/OpenID to work with the
Wikimedia-Account (!!)
All great ideas.
With parameters I mean a list of matching points. Also if I know that for
modern maps that are generated by users in a GIS-system, it would be nice
to support GDAL
<http://www.gdal.org/gdalwarp.**html<http://www.gdal.org/gdalwarp.html>>
for transformations. But I don't believe that maps-wraper support it.
The warper actually only uses GDAL (gdalwarp and gdal_translate) to do
the transformations.
