MapStory.org is a community-driven open educational resource that lets people share and peer review observations about how the world evolves over time and space. It’s built on an open source geospatial stack (PostGIS, GeoServer, OpenLayers, GeoNode) and aims to empower both authoritative and public participation in data collection, peer review, and storytelling. We want to use this session to debut a “new plateau” for MapStory that includes an updated user interface with new features, namely integration of GeoGit ‘crowdediting’ of data and XYT frames for MapStories (what we call StoryBoxes).
