The Wikimaps project proposes to develop the Wikimaps Warper. Please

*The Warper code will be refactored*
User interface is separated from computation to allow more versatile use of
the software. Operations inside the code are also separated to make
possible developing individual parts separately.
*New functions will be added*
*Mass import* of already rectified maps will come handy to GLAM users and
can be made part of maps uploads. *Category imports* will be enabled. We
are starting to develop the new functionalities already. *The API* will be
enhanced to be the primary means of operating the software.
*Preparing for next steps*
After this work the user interfaces will be remade. Design decisions will
be based on earlier work in the Wikimaps project, and updated to reflect
development in sister software such as the OSM iD editor.
Wikimedia Finland has an ongoing project for processing metadata for
Commons uploads. Warper upload will be made an option in it.
*Please help us code in Commons!*
We are looking for Commons volunteers to participate in Commons
integrations, coding gadgets and templates.
