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.
Since you already have a repository the best would be to move it to
xwiki-contrib instead of creating a new one. I think you need to make
one of the xwiki-contrib organization owner the owner of your current
repository to transfert it.
Best,
Fawad
