Hi,<br>
<br>
I've made up my mind on this one:<br>
<br>
Shashank,<br>
<br>
I think that if a user clicks on a location he wants to have information about<br>
the location in the first place (and is less likely to be intersted in other<br>
places around). Additionally the main article already does reference some of<br>
the locations returned by the <a href="http://geonames.org" target="_blank">geonames.org</a> service quite often.<br>
<br>
The service provided by geonames creates a selection of possible places<br>
though.<br>
<br>
So here's my suggestion:<br>
<br>
1.) Rename the current Wikipedia Tab into: "Place"<br>
The "Place" (formerly: "Wikipedia") tab should remain as is.<br>
</blockquote><div><br> ok i would try this :)<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
2.) Add a third tab in the Placemark info page called "Region"<br>
The "Region" tab should then return your implementation of the <a href="http://geonames.org" target="_blank">geonames.org</a><br>
service.<br>
<br>
It would be nice that if the "Place" query doesn't return a result it would be<br>
hidden automatically, so the "Region tab" would get promoted to become the<br>
second tab.<br>
<br>
Do you think that this sounds like a good idea?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>yeah i like the idea :) i would at once delve back into code :) <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
An additional thing I'd like to see added would be the addition of Wikitravel<br>
to Marble. Ideally we maybe would be able to add this<br>
</blockquote><div><br>i was studying wikiravels , they dont have api or something so i think plain and simple html request :) <br>i would implement it as plugin.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
- either as another plugin<br>
- or maybe as another tab in the info center<br>
- ... or [insert your idea here]<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
And thanks for this nice idea and implementation<br>
