[Historic] History notes from SotM US

[Jeff Meyer]

Hi Mikel -

Here's what I see as next steps - and all are free to join in &

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.

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.

I love the idea of the slum development - was there a granularity of time
they had in mind?
Are you at NACIS?

W00t!!
