Hi everyone,
Myself Anu G Enchackal ,GNOME Outreach Program for Women Round 7 Intern,working on UploadWizard : OSM embedding mentored by Gergő Tisza.
This project is about enhancing the image upload process for Wikimedia Commons.The main goal of the OpenStreetMap map embedding project would be to provide map interface & the integration with external databases to the UploadWizard.The secondary goal is to integrate with some databases of locations and use that in various ways. One way would be checking if there are locations with requested images nearby (that is, someone put out a note that Commons needs good images about a certain place and doesn't currently have any), and warn the uploader about them.
****Week 1 ( Dec 10 --- Dec 16 )**** This week was spent mostly by navigating through the existing structure and working on a link introduction within UploadWizard. The present plan is to introduce a link next to coordinate fields within UploadWizard , which can initialize the map widget onclick. Patch sets [1] which replaces the existing 'Show on Map' with a link having the same functionality are already uploaded to gerrit.
Expecting valuable comments from everyone
