Re: [xwiki-devs] Map Application - GSoC 19

Also, I forgot to mention it before but we will need a better and more expressive way to show popups. We need something that can accomodate sufficient amount of text with a scroll if the information exceeds the page. I will prepare a mockup for this once I am done with some of the next steps. And I think we should use the colortheme colors for our map controls and consequently for the popups. I will update you on that as well.
