This meeting is about rewriting the map functionality in the OpenAtlas user interface, see issue #1628 and draft.

https://github.com/craws/OpenAtlas/commit/16a3a651bb6b448fa635308c48a4f83f3fe09fd6#diff-dfbbdc532f34cf3bac6a449b541308c49354acbf9c5fddfc36adc6d82715a094 - hack to fix the import display of the geonames import control - this is why the geonames components are currently not installed via NPM but hosted in static/vendor

A lot of information was tracked directly in issues and draft. Here, some key points are listed:

The map module will be rewritten from scratch
We continue using Leaflet in combination with jQuery
We use this opportunity to update libraries or look for better replacements and look into replacing 3rd party code currently included (/openatlas/static/vendor) with a NPM installation
The first version is mostly about implementing existing functionality, additional features will be added later
The user interface will be redesigned, most probably we move form element outside the map and also list existing entries beside it
It was suggested to implement it in a way that it can be tested and to write it as a component

Try to find some small user interface issues for Andi to get to familiar with the "user interface/backend" functionality, see map/ui query . E.g.
