[OHM] A project for storing, editing, visualizing historic maps

[Max Olson]

Hi all,
I've been a subscriber to the OHM mailing list for quite a while now,
though I've never been a contributor.

I wanted to post here an idea I've worked on for a few years now: a
platform for storing, editing, and visualizing historic maps:

http://futureblind.com/2015/11/13/atlastory-mapping-the-history-of-the-world/

It started as a passion project and once it got to the point I couldn't
devote enough time to it, everything was open sourced.

I thought some of the concepts, code, or maps could be of help to the OHM
community. Some of the general concepts differ from what the OHM community
is working on, such as adding data bottom-up vs. top-down, or not using OSM
infrastructure exclusively. But I think sharing everything and discussing
openly the best ways to proceed speeds up the process of reaching the same
goal.

I don't have much time to work on the idea anymore but I'd still love to
discuss. This is something I've given a lot of thought to so I'll always
want to contribute in some way.

Best,
Max Olson
