Event type:
User group meeting
I'm going to make a hangout that will talk about Mapping module.
- I will discuss what are my plans for the module and hear thoughts from other developers interested on later using it.
- Maintainers of modules which think it may be a good dependency are also encouraged to speak about their needs and expectations.
- I will also talk about my plans of a rewriting the Leaflet module to fit my needs.
We will join first at IRC #drupal-geo, where I will publish the hangout link.

Hangout notes
It was a good conversation and I finally had the chance to talk with @RdeBoer, he is (co)maintainer of Leaflet, Leaflet More Maps, and Leaflet Markercluster.
RdeBoer had many questions about how mapping works and how it is different from MANY modules available today. As Mapping does not depend of
geofieldhe also asked if Mapping would save coordinates data.Well, Mapping will not save coordinates data. It will save only configurations for Mapping, Styles, and Behaviors. Think behaviors as additional plugins for maps. For example, it could have a module called
Mapping Leaflet Markerclusterwhich would provide the behavior marker cluster to the moduleMapping Leaflet.After the hangout I started documenting and coding on the questions raised by Rick:
Unfortunately I could not record the hangout =P
