I just want to give RJ Eldridge, Toole Design Group’s Director of Planning, the credit he deserves. He’s had some good ideas, like adding facebook login to WikiMapping. But, more importantly, he has given WikiMapping exposure all over the United States. Thanks RJ!
Today I was at the National Bike Summit. There were great talks, kicked off by Congressman Blumenauer from Portland and a really inspiring talk about Black Women on Bikes – this is a group in DC that has fun and acts as role models. But the presentation by the president of Rails to Trails, the cartographer from IMBA, and Frank Biasi, from National Geographic seems most relevant to wikimapping.
Before I go on, here are some important links:
GeoStories Project, geostories.org
Rails to Trails TrailLink, traillink.com
International Mountain Biking Association, imba.com
So… What was my take-away from this?
I could start off every post with, “I’m having so much fun!” It’s because there’s a team to help solve immediate problems in a way that improves every wikimap. For example, I got the following request: “Is there a way to change the POINTS heading to Suggest a location by the end of the business day?” There were other requests too, like, “Can you fix the facebook login?” John was up nice and early, and made the changes from Brisbane.
The benefit: All of our clients have the ability to customize the legend.
