Dear all,

 

I am working as a contractor on the m aping part of a new project,
OpenUrban, which is a crowd sourced map and forum focusing on urban
development. The site is using Semantic Mediawiki as a framework. As part of
the development we will be extending some Mediawiki mapping extensions to
include a more robust map editor. We are looking for an additional
programmer (on very short notice) who has experience with Mediawiki ( i.e.
more expertise in Mediawiki than me) and ideally also Semantic Mediawiki as
well as web mapping (OpenLayers, etc.). However the mapping part is what I
am proficient in so no worries if that is not your main expertise, main
point is that we need someone with good Mediawiki experience.

 

Coding tasks would include:

* Working hand in hand with me on inserting an existing OpenLayers Map
editor into the Semantic Maps Extension (We want to avoid making an entirely
new editor). 

* Extract the semantic spatial data from each wiki page, assembling it in
one place, and render it on a global slippy map through the Mediawiki Map
extension (We are open to rendering other ways, but would like to keep
everything within Mediawiki).

 

* Main focus is on the code (PHP , JS + Ajax) to insert the spatial data
into the mediawiki database (Mysql) in a "Mediawiki" compatible way for
store and retrieval .

 

Notes: The work on this needs to be started ASAP, that means e.g. middle of
next week and has a very limited budget (thus only do apply if you are
charging  less than 100$ / hour ;)  )

 

If interested please contact me by email
