Hi Mikel - <div><br></div><div>Here's what I see as next steps - and all are free to join in & </div><div><br></div><div>1) Set up a Rails Port somewhere... Does anyone want to take the lead here? : ) I'm working on this right now on my local machine to test the docs & get smarter. You'll see my notes on the wiki asking questions about setup. I hope to have this done in the next day or two. Then, I'll probably go through it again on an EC2 instance & share that out.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) As a team, build out the wiki to identify issues. e.g. time-based editing, setting up a historic tile server, data issues, etc. I've put together some of these thoughts & will be moving them over to the wiki tomorrow.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I love the idea of the slum development - was there a granularity of time they had in mind?</div><div>Are you at NACIS?</div><div><br></div><div>W00t!!<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 5:24 PM, Mikel Maron <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mikel_maron@yahoo.com" target="_blank">mikel_maron@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm very excited
to start experimenting on an OSM server instance. Even today, met some folks studying agent based models of slum development using OSM (really!) and they need historic OSM too. Jeff, what's next? Do we need to find a server somewhere? I think using the wiki to document some of our progress is a good idea.</div>

<div>Lots of historic mapping talk at this weekend's SotM US in PDX.<br><br>For those of you unable to attend, here are some items that were discussed - others, please add to items I've missed:<br><br>- Lots of great attendees from this list, which made for some excellent conversation<br>
- There appears to be an interest in putting together historic base maps for some potential test cases, using a Rails port instance (a parallel version of OSM) somewhere. I'm going to start going through the process of trying to set that up shortly... : ) I believe Flickr (Eric Gelinas) & <a href="http://mapstory.org/" target="_blank">MapStory.org</a> (Alyssa Wright), at a minimum, are interested tile consumers. I believe we have some contacts at History Pin, as well. Any advice on putting together a plan for this would be great. Bartring any input, I'll put together a (naive) rough set of next steps in the near future. <br>
- I posted my slides on OSM & Online Time Machines at <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/gwhathistory/osm-and-online-time-machines-sotm-us-2012-pdx" target="_blank">http://www.slideshare.net/gwhathistory/osm-and-online-time-machines-sotm-us-2012-pdx</a><br>
- Eric showed off Flickr already doing some time-based basemap variations for Burning Man <br clear="all"><br>Any thoughts on starting to build out a Historic section of the Wiki? Good/bad?<br><br>Thanks,<div>Jeff<br><br>
