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

Hi all, Hoping that everything is going well. Stephane, I was able to do implement most of your suggestions except the search results list. I am not too sure where I should place it. As per the latest build, the filter widget appears to the left. Do you think it is practical that we replace this widget with the search results when the user wants to see the search results and show the widget back again when the user clicks on the widget control? I am not too sure what approach I should choose here in terms of UX. Ecaterina, your views on this would help a lot. Thanks. :) Also, do you foresee the map to take full browser height and width as is seen in all the examples you gave me? Regarding the release, I will try preparing everything by tonight so that it is available for your review, including the demo tests that Vincent suggested.
