The MapOSMatic application website was initially created in August 2009 by a group of free software enthousiasts during a one-week intensive hackfest. The same group of people is going to meet again for a 5 days hackfest next week and we plan to take advantage of this hackfest to work on the major issues of MapOSMatic :
- Put the world, daily-updated, OpenStreetMap database into production, so that cities from all over the world can be rendered and up-to-date data is used
- Improve the city selection, to make it fuzzy, and to support various countries
- Improve the city index generation to support different languages
- Improve the web site display of existing renderings
Of course, a lot more issues are registered in our task list and in our bug tracker, but we will very likely focus on the points mentioned above.
