Hi developers,
I have started working on the map application with some of the work done.
So I wanted to get an update across to have a review of how I am doing so
far.
The source files for the project are available at:
https://github.com/9inpachi/application-map
I have been and in future intend to document the daily progress of the
development. The progress is available at PROGRESS.md
<https://github.com/9inpachi/application-map/blob/master/PROGRESS.md> within
the repository,
The design proposal for the project is available at
https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/MapApplication.
And I would like to request a repository on xwiki-contrib.
Best,
Fawad

interactive maps which support collaboration and are easy to create so
that
locations can be shared, and areas can be
associated with structured
data.
This application will open several possibilities that can be utilized
within XWiki and broaden the overall scope by allowing map rich wikis
