[OSM-newbies] GSoC'09

[rajan vaish]

Hi,
I am Rajan,a CS major from India.I interned online for One Laptop per Child
creating a Geography teaching tool using GeoRSS,MapServer and OpenLayers in
summer'08. I am really looking forward to participate and work for OSM this
year and there are few things of my interest on which I would like to work
.. 2 of which have already been posted .
1-OSM for visually impaired (HTML header tags as per W3C guidelines can be
done and source-destination pair can be set,which result in
direction,something like MapQuest by AOL such that its very supportive to
Screen Readers like JAWS --- I am currently working on a research based
analysis of an Email client for visually impaired for ASSETS'09 mentored by
a Researcher from IBM ).
2-JOSM History Support .
3-OSM/Slippy maps with Markers (i.e A window opens on clicking a particular
spot with more information - something implemented on OpenLayers using
GeoRSS and very common on Google maps ) .
I am a newbie but very fast learner ,it has been just sometime since I have
been browsing through OSM and really keen to work on it.
Looking forward to listen from interested mentors ,so that can discuss
further issues and design the implementation model for any of these 3 ideas
mentioned. Thank you,
Rajan
