Project ideas.

  1. "Map" activity, playing with maps : MediaMods & Erik Blankinship
  2. Interactive atlas : simple view of the world, with free multilingual political map data
    support version with ultra-low disk version that may take a while to regenerate a new lens
    ability to add a static map (note geocoords of a few points on it, and the projection; add to kml database?)
  3. OurStories overlays : sharing that metadata
  4. Sensible Cities : wifi triangulation with access points...
    connect with Ypod
  5. Map proposals (via G!?) : for georss, in and out; for museum without walls
  6. Working with OpenAerialMap and similar : use georss for this?
    describe how to do superoverlays this way
    demo viewer app from Chris DiB?
  7. Aggregation toolchain for the school server and global servers.

    bundle multiple server descriptions together to render a result
    store the multilayer map description. See http://en.giswiki.org/wiki/WMS
