[OHM] OHM dev work brief update & Re: Date slider?

[Jeff Meyer]

Hi Todd -

Great question and great time to ask it! I agree that not having this live
is a major roadblock to project success,

First, development work is continuing to make the timeslider more usable &
more integrated with the site.
You can see the current version of the slider, integrated on the backend
with OHM here:
https://openhistoricalmap.github.io/openhistoricaltiles/datefilter/#14.64/40.80623/-73.91894/1913-01-01,1933-12-31/

Unfortunately for impatient people like me, getting this into production
involves a fair amount of dev work, including getting the OHM stack up to
speed with the current OSM codebase. In addition, there's a different path
to explore for time-enabling low-zoom level info (state, country borders),
and some mods to ID to encourage entry of date info. So, we're busy working
on all that right now.

More important, you (and Bert & Rob) have pointed out that we haven't been
talking enough about what's going on. So, we need to do a better job with
that, and I hope to have a blog post up soon as well as establishing a
quick bi-weekly update call.

In the near future, I expect we'll have a URL for a more integrated
prototype available for your review & will encourage feedback through
https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/ohm-website/issues.

That all said... ask any questions you may have!

Thanks,
Jeff
