> I'd like to see a MVC architecture taken to ushahidi's
mapping system. Where the map is just a view, and things like
timelines and category filters become controls, all using a
standardized API. Makes me smile just thinking about it.
This makes a lot of sense and I have to say I am a bit surprised
that the core dev team did not take this approach from the begining
since ushahidi is so map and by relationship openlayers centric.
OpenLayers is an amazing library that has a ton of features of which
ushahidi core uses a small subset of. Making it easier for plugin
developers to hook into the mapping interface and leverage the power
of OpenLayers whiloe maintaining the MVC architecture that the rest
of the system would be fantastic.
Thanks!
