Hi, It’s hard to choose without knowing how you position this app vs the existing map macro for example. What’s the proposal? Thanks -Vincent

Hi,
There were some concerns discussed about the naming of the app (since it's too generic). Alternatives suggested: - 'application-map-interactive' - 'application-interactivemap' - 'application-map-editor' - 'application-map-creator'
We should choose one form above and do the renames for GitHub and Jira asp.
Thanks, Caty

Eduard,
Thanks for the heads up. I think I was focusing too much on the official documentation and forgot to take a look at the well documented pages for GSoC students.
The repository has been moved to xwiki-contrib (thanks to Thomas for that). The updated link is: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-map
Thanks, Fawad

Hi, Fawad,
Please make double sure to read and follow the Student Guidelines, specially the section about the work process:
https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines#HSuggeste...
It covers stuff like where to place your code (Contrib), how to document your process (project page), how to communicate, etc.
Otherwise, just from my quick "helicopter look", it looks like you're getting the hang of how to structure your project's code and how XWiki extensions work.
Keep it up, Eduard

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
