Have you seen this tool:
http://maplib.khtml.org/khtml.maplib/examples/changesets/

It shows the changes in a region - but not live.

Thanks a lot

The data are from here:
http://planet.openstreetmap.org/minute-replicate/

My server connects every minute to load the latest file with the information
about the last edits.
The data are reduced to the essential information and than zipped to transfer to the browser. The Browsers connect every minute (AJAX) and load the infos.

That's about 2 kByte per minute and could be loaded with a dialup modem.
Today there was a big data import in Columbia and a big 77 kByte file was generated.

With javascript the data are displayed in the browser.

If the user clicks to an icon, there is also an API request to load more information.

Coordinates are parsed from english wikipeda
Amman has wrong coordinates there ;-).

Now you should be able to continue (until the next bug).

Looks like somebody knows XMPP and "hacked" it.
Good to know that some people here know Jabber.
Next time if somebody change the password, please restore it again to the original "xxx". There is nothing secret, it's just not working if password is changed.

If somebody want's to see the XMPP protocol:
xmpp@conference.jabberworld.org for changesets
osmchat@conference.jabberworld.org for changesets

You will see the communication in XML Console.

I was working about 300 hours to make the map library. The chat and the osmlive function took about 3 hours.

For me it's a testing tool to test the map lib. Testing is not easy - I have only one old Laptop. I wanted to see people using the lib and be able to communicate directly with the users.

It's also a test for combining XMPP (jabber) and OSM.

The tool is not really usefull at the moment. It needs too much server and client resources. It's buggy - not because of bad programming, it's buggy because of this software architecture is not possible.

To make a usefull tool, the changesets api would be nice
osm.wiki/API_v0.6#Query:_GET_.2Fapi.2F0.6.2Fchangesets
but it's too slow at the moment and I don't want to give too much workload on the main database.

I don't have a todo list, but ideas are very welcome.

----

chat box: Just write the text. On Internet Explorer it does not work.
Who is editing: every dot has a "title" attribute with the username of the editing users. The browser should show the users on mouseover.
green/yellow/red: new/modified/deleted nodes
Smileys: Every visitor of the page generates automaticaly a Smiley. The position of the Smiley tells the location where the users are viewing the map. The smileys have information about the browser and OS.
If I see for example a Safari on Mac moving around, I know that the map is working for this browser.

Thanks for the shift click bugreport. I added it to the bugtracker at http://github.com/robotnic/khtmlib/issues and will fix it soon.

That's cool man.

The Problem was, that I had a cookie bug. 200 Visitors couldn't see anything.
I'have a 10kB connection here and sometimes internet does not work at all....

Sorry 200 People for seeing nothing.
And no sorry for the ie6 visitors. Loosers!
Firefox on USB?

Maybe it's working now. I'm developing.
But yes, I think it's cool.

Welcome

Looks like other people have the same idea:
osm.org/?lat=43.6363&lon=-79.4544&zoom=12&layers=00B0FTF

snap to zoom:

Snap:

If you use doubleclick it snaps to a good looking zoom levels.

I know, that's a problem - but how to solve it? It's not a question of how to do the javascript code, it's a usability question.

Fast scroll works very well on my computer.
There is an extra speed boost if you turn the mouse wheel very fast.
On my computer I have a mouse wheel area on my touchpad and that can be very different to real mouse wheel.

If you hold the ALT-Key it zooms 10 times faster now if you turn the wheel.

This homework was for learning javascript/DOM.
The openlayers lib has 570kB.
This student project has all together 80 lines of code.
