 fortyfoxes | Fantastic! | 13:44:52 |

| fortyfoxes | My thoughts on this are first and foremost how to make it useful. As a technical demo it is great - but what would we need to overcome the problems of "just a load of pins on the map" | 13:46:00 |
| Ward | NEARBY | 13:46:27 |
| fortyfoxes | I'm wandering if we can use the "Transport again" mechanism that I use for Wikipedia imports | 13:46:40 |
| fortyfoxes | i'm not sure if the data is available in this case - but the idea would be the pins include not just the name of the station but an internal wiki link to a page that does not exist. | 13:47:40 |
| fortyfoxes | Clicking on the link would offer the option to create a page and import data from an appropriate source about the station including a map with only that single pin. | 13:48:15 |
| Ward | I thought I would show the number of available bikes at each station in the popup. | 13:48:26 |
| fortyfoxes | OK | 13:48:47 |
| fortyfoxes | Just a thought - we do have the too much information in a small space problem. Using the lineup for detail is good? | 13:49:13 |
| Ward | Interesting idea, how do you select a marker from a map and then make a new page with it? | 13:49:18 |
| fortyfoxes | I tested - if the text of the markup uses [[link]] it renders properly | 13:49:41 |
| Ward | Maybe drag and drop markers? | 13:49:42 |
| Ward | Yes, and [ ... ] links too. | 13:50:07 |
| fortyfoxes | Drag and drop is cool - but the interaction may be hard with panning in the map already - and we need to fix the scrooling issue as it is? | 13:50:40 |
| Ward | yes, for sure. | 13:50:55 |
| fortyfoxes | NEARBYE 6 = map bounded by the 6 nearest stations? | 13:51:44 |
| Ward | I was thinking that NEARBY would read markers and then select from its own only markers nearby to source on to the right. | 13:52:07 |
| Ward | NEARBY lat, lon | 13:53:12 |
| Ward | would not look to the lineup, but answer nearby the lat lon | 13:53:45 |
| fortyfoxes | NEARBY Pin Title | 13:55:53 |
| fortyfoxes | If we take the label of a pin - taken from the lineup or wherever else the map get its pins | 13:56:22 |
| fortyfoxes | OrNEARBY " | 13:57:27 |
| fortyfoxes | Or... | 13:57:37 |
| fortyfoxes | NEARBYE 3 | 13:57:44 |
| fortyfoxes | ORIGIN Station Title | 13:58:06 |
| fortyfoxes | Or | 13:58:22 |
| fortyfoxes | CENTE Station Title | 13:58:26 |
| fortyfoxes | CENTRE | 13:58:34 |
| fortyfoxes | ?
I mean the most natural useable syntax is to refer to the title of a pin. | 13:59:05 |
