We have been testing WikiMapping on new, faster, scalable cloud-based servers. The results have been great. We’re making some design changes to the project administration panel and plan to launch the new servers on Sept. 3. Your projects set up in August will be migrated to the new system.
The goal “We want to reach a thousand users,” a WikiMapping client said to me about a project that already had over 1000 comments. An email blast and initial outreach efforts had gotten several hundred. The planners were in the process of creating a post card. So… I used this opportunity to try LeadDigits, by LeadPages. […]

Here’s a link to the TV News feature that I saw online today about the Vermont State Bicycle Plan. The WikiMap, set up by Sam Piper at Alta Planning, was shown. We are grateful that WikiMapping is used by top ranked bicycle friendly states and platinum ranked cities. Vermont is currently ranked 17th by the League of American Bicyclists […]
WikiMapping projects get used by teams. The person who decides to use the project may not be the one who manages it. Someone else may pay for the project. And all of this may be done for a client that eventually maintains the project over the long run. History of project access: Multiple people sharing a single […]
We are making a couple of tweaks to user feedback based on recent requests: 1. Remove “Thanks…” Dialog.

I send John so many emails every day with ideas for improvements that he decided to really make the feature request useful. We are encouraging project administrators to try it out too.
I’m going to describe how I imported an 1899 map into WikiMapping. Why do this? It’s searchable. I can trace it and bring the data into my own maps. I can highlight information to share with others. And, I just love old transit maps. The project I’m referring to is here. Mike Szilagyi had given […]
For whatever reason, exporting a boundary file with no fill from ArcMap maintains a transparent fill. This makes it so that a user can not edit the map. The following code needs to be added to the kml:[toggle title_open=”Close Me” title_closed=”Open Me” hide=”yes” border=”yes” style=”default” excerpt_length=”0″ read_more_text=”Read More” read_less_text=”Read Less” include_excerpt_html=”no”] [threecol_one] Search for: <PolyStyle> <PolyStyle> […]
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 […]

The banner shows up wider than the map The banner shows up narrower than the map Project administrators (anyone […]
