User documentation
There is no information on the syntax for this extension. That of course does not help in the adoption of it. Please provide some user documentation. Cheers! Siebrand 17:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Developing at OpenStreetMap
I'm working on this extension code. There's currently a different (better) version over at the OpenStreetMap SVN repo: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/wiki-extensions/SlippyMap-local/  but we'll aim to get it checked in here too/instead -- Harry Wood 17:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I updated the extension in MediaWiki's svn. However, a few issues: no more markers, no more buttons. See betawiki:User:Siebrand. Siebrand 09:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I fixed an XHTML issue in 43481. Siebrand 09:37, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Re-added the marker in 43482. Siebrand 09:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Cool OK. Wasn't expecting that to happen quite so quickly, but good that we're more in sync now. You know I did also disable 'KML' support in that copy.

The reason I disabled markers and KML temporarily is because I wanted to discuss wiki syntax. If we unleash these things on the OSM wiki then we have a lot more hassle fix the syntax usages later. We are currently going through the hassle of switching from old to new syntax for the basic params.

So I was thinking for the markers it's going to be better if we are vaguely following a similar syntax as Extension:Google_Maps/Syntax. Easy enough to code.

 * Why not request MediaWiki SVN access and maintain the beast directly? Siebrand 14:11, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
