For all people that like to eat vegan or vegetarian, and who also like Free and OpenSource Software, and community powered projects like #OpenStreetMap and #LibReviews and Linked Data,and who are #traveling:

Have a look at #VeggieKarte, it brings the above all together.

A screenshot of the browserwindow with the VeggieKarte website opened. An openstreetmap map is shown with vegan and vegetarian amenities. A specific restaurant is selected and you see the contact details and opening hours of the restaurant, but also a link to a review on lib.reviews.

I am still planning a replacement for my Google MyMaps map of German folk tales, one based on #OpenStreetMap .

Reuirements include:

- I should not be required to host an entire map server.
- I should be able to integrate the maps into #MediaWiki wiki pages via plugins.

Last time I asked this question, I got a couple of good suggestions such as Umap and Leaflet that might fit the bill. However, since then I thought of a further requirement that would be really useful for me:

Filterable tags for markers.

Let me explain: I want to put a bunch of markers on the map, and each refers to a folk tale. And then I want to tag some of them with "dragon", "witch", "treasure" and so forth - and then people should be able to filter them by these tags, so that only those tales that feature "dragons" or whatever on the map.

On the other hand, maybe people want to filter the tales by the book in which they first appeared, such as "Deutsche Sagen" by the Brothers Grimm. However, this means that those tags cannot be mutually exclusive - a tale might either feature a dragon or be from "Deutsche Sagen", it might be both, or neither.

If there is truly no other way of doing this, I might have to do these "filters" as separate maps instead. But I really don't want to do this the hard way unless I absolutely have to. So, can anyone help?
