Could you all help me brainstorm something?
Do you think there would be any use for a Federated location sharing app? Something that would let you mark an annotate locations in the world to share places of interest with your friends or to publicize things that are happening.
We could make a distributed, location-based search engine that pulls up all of the annotations within some radius.
Yes? No? I’d love to hear if this community thinks it would be valuable.

I'm collecting info for a Federated #Map server. Something that would let people share info and comment on what's going on at specific places out in the world.
There are lots of ways this might be useful to our community, so I've written a super-rough-draft spec on my website.

Just like #Bandwagon, this app would sit on top of #Emissary so most of this is already built. We just need to connect the dots.

The existence of Global South means there is Global North. But, are there Global Midlands? Does anyone have a map?

"A sensory #mapping of a #strolling on foot"
I seek to transcribe my stroll on foot, guided by #birdsong and children’s calls.
I walked until I was captivated by groups of #birds, lingering especially where several species coexisted.
I deliberately lost myself in the #city tangled streets, curious to see if I could concentrate amid the hustle and bustle.

From 1862, this was a comparative chart that provides you with the best of what was known for the major rivers and mountains of the world.
Great visualization let's you wander and discover, this does the job well

This thread of silent Sunday photos were all taken on the walk along Duncansby Head on the north east of Scotland. It is a fine spot.

Rural residents were upset when Oregon released a statewide map estimating property risk from wildfires.
Until then, the impacts of climate change were abstract to many people, one senator said. “This is a very big chicken coming home to roost.”

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.

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?
