know any folks w/ Google Maps API skills looking for an odd job? pls. fwd thanks! =Derek *JavaScript / Google Maps API V.3 Programming Job : Wolfsonian – FIU (www.wolfsonian.org <http://www.wolfsonian.org>)* We are putting together a site to provide public access to the high-resolution digital image of a painting called the Menneske Pyramide [Human Pyramid], by Harald Rudyard Engman, created in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1941. http://www.wolfsonian.org/explore/collections/menneske-pyramide-human-pyramid This painting (which is part of our permanent collection) is full of socio-political messages relating to Denmark's unfortunate involvement in WWII. Many of the figures depicted in the painting are caricatures or likenesses of figures from Danish history and mythology as well as current political and cultural figures from the early part of the 20th century. In the past some curators and researchers have identified some of these figures and we are hoping to utilize the knowledge of the crowd to fill in some more of the blanks. To this end we have created a prototype site that uses the custom map feature of the Google Maps API v.3 which allows most web browsers quick and smooth zooming and panning of this near-gigapixel image. Rudimentary coding has placed some permanent map-pin markers with pop-up info boxes containing text annotations for the figures we have already identified. What we need from you: We want the public version to allow people to contribute annotations by dragging a new marker-pin onto the image and then entering text in that marker’s info box – this annotation would be submitted to a moderation queue and if approved would show up on the public version for all to see. How this is managed is up to you as long as it’s easily sustainable by our staff – google docs or fusion tables is fine – we are open to suggestions. Please contact Derek Merleaux [[log in to unmask]] – we are seeking direct contacts from coders only please, no solicitations on behalf of third-parties, also you must be willing and able to become an approved vendor to Florida International University [details: http://finance.fiu.edu/purchasing/2vendor_forms.html] *-------------------------------------------------------------------------*
