Hi devs,
We have a MapMacro already [1], for displaying Google Maps. I'd like to create a
distinct one for creating maps based on OpenStreetMap. Another option would be to enhance
the existing MapMacro for supporting the display of OSM maps in addition, but this would
make the code more complex, and in general an administrator willing to use maps in his
wiki is likely to opt for one map type, probably not both, what do you think?
Since this is not a large “component”, I think my preferences goes to a single {{map}}
macro, with a “provider” parameter (provider=“google”, “openstreetmap”, “apple”, etc) and
possibly aliases such as {{googlemap}} {{openstreetmap}} which would simply be shortcuts
for {{map provider=“google”}} and {{map provider=“openstreetmap”}}.
I think it would make it simpler from a user POV. I’d prefer to have one recommended map
macro that we try to support instead of a myriad of smaller map macros that would not be
recommended and at various levels of support.
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
If you agree, the proposed repo name and JIRA would
be:
- Repo: macro-openstreetmap
- JIRA project: OSM

Thank you,
