Dear Yug you can see this list at wp of map editing links http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Image_map_resources some editoring sites mentioned take uploads might be worth a look : http://www.linkedresources.com/tools/cimm/cimm_v0.45b2.html http://www.imapbuilder.com/ http://www.kolchose.org/simon/ajaximagemapcreator/ Timo From: tigre7t(a)hotmail.com To: maps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 22:15:22 +1000 Subject: Re: [Maps-l] Cloud mapmaking for wikipedia Dear Yugo yes i agree your idea is a really great here is a link to some good historical maps in German you may have seen http://www.geog.fu-berlin.de/2bik/Kap4/kap4_1-06.php3 http://www.geog.fu-berlin.de/2bik/Kap4/images/4_1-05.jpg Cloud maps is a great idea and collaboration. Another aside map interest is the new uses of satellite maps one site called mongabay.com shows some habitat images in progress http://news.mongabay.com/2011/0603-cao_atoms.html quote: "A new airplane-based remote-sensing and analysis system will enable scientists to catalog tree species as they create three-dimensional maps of tropical forests. Unveiled today at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, California by Greg Asner of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University, the newest version of the Carnegie Airborne Observatory (CAO) will offer powerful insights into the composition and biology of tropical forests." A good source is Proj4J with reverse mercator grids for 3d kind regards Timo Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 09:17:48 +0200 From: hugo.lpz(a)gmail.com To: maps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Maps-l] Cloud mapmaking for wikipedia Thanks Tim,I'm a bit aware of the new display possibilities. But I'm looking for *cloud mapmaking* (editing) for encyclopedic maps such the Roman empire in 120 CE, the Tang dynasty ca 700, etc. Is there around a such project/system/website where I —as a graphist— can create and edit historical maps, adding specific shapes, coloring them, becoming an online-cloud map that can then be displayed in Wikipedia the same way as WikiMiniAtlas. Is there a cloud mapmaking tool for wikipedia ?-- Yug Message: 1 Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:07:12 +1000 From: tim o <tigre7t(a)hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [Maps-l] Maps-l Digest, Vol 27, Issue 3 To: <maps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Message-ID: <BAY145-W52572093841090845927DE1340(a)phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="big5" Dear Yug did you see this site? it is up and running Wiki Mini Atlas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiMiniAtlas regards Timo Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:06:34 +0200 From: hugo.lpz(a)gmail.com To: maps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Maps-l] Maps-l Digest, Vol 27, Issue 3 Dear all,The mapmakers using Inkscape / photoshop on wikipedia (WP:GL/M) to generate the articles' maps currently work file after file, which generate scores of background / data duplication which are increasingly hard to manage. Also, we are willing to know : is there any ongoing project/system/extension to create a kind of free google maps where we ?graphists? may *create and edits* encyclopedic maps in the clouds ? I noticed : * http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/ - display many layers, no edit functions. * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Map_extensions - don't seems to have such extension.* the online editing tool is missing ?
