== How to add to the map ==

how do you add to the Permaculture map?  Please add a link with instructions on how to do this.

:[[Help:Maps]] - but that looks a bit confusing. Maybe there are easier instructions somewhere? --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 05:51, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Looking at examples that successfully create entries on the map, a good example to follow is:

<pre>39.216295, -121.05835, Sierra Permaculture Guild, Sierra Nevada region
http://web.archive.org/web/20210126054915/https://sierrapermaculture.org/</pre>

i.e.
<pre>LONGITUDE, LATITUDE, TEXT
URL</pre>

...where text is whatever text you want to appear on the map, which should be name (& description if the name isn't self-explanatory) and possibly location.

== Map usage - too confusing? ==

I count 12 examples of entries in the map which don't list coordinates (LONGITUDE, LATITUDE as above, e.g. "39.216295, -121.05835") and therefore don't actually appear on the map. For example:

<pre>Permatopia
www.permatopia.com</pre>

and 

<pre>Center for the Advancement of Sustainable Living (CASL), U Oregon
http://www.uoregon.edu/~casl/</pre>

I'm not sure whether the editors thought they were adding map entries or external links.

If we want to use maps like this on Appropedia, we need to make it clearer somehow. But maybe  it will help if I clean out the entries which don't have an entry - so here they are (please feel free to reenter them correctly as map entries or external links, if they are appropriate/valuable links):

== What is meant with "husband soil"? ==

I never heard of the term "husband soil".

What is meant with that? {{unsigned|Ikem|29 July 2012}}

:Good question! The term seems to be making a parallel to ''animal'' husbandry. So probably something like, "managing soil, including its profile, mineral content and micro- and macrobiotic organisms for human benefit" --[[User:Ethan|Ethan]] ([[User talk:Ethan|talk]]) 20:26, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

== broken map ==

The map at the bottom is broken. I found:

"Starting with the 4.0 release this extension incorporates all the functionality from the now obsolete Semantic Maps extension."

Maps can be used to make us aware of others in our area engaging in similar work and practices. For example, the following map contains sites on the Pacific coast of the [[USA]] that are actively demonstrating and applying permaculture and/or allied sites and organizations providing valuable education. This map is not by any means exhaustive, so please add other sites to it as you see fit. Original compilation by Jeffrey M. Adams

=== map discussion ===

Unfortunately a couple of things broke during the last update of our installation of MediaWiki. It looks like map support was one of them. At the moment Appropedia is a volunteer-only operation, and we don't have enough people with the knowledge and time to spare to fix the back-end stuff. More help would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, I'd like to see us use OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps, since that's more in line with our open source approach. [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MediaWiki_extension More info on how that works]

I've been planning to fork the map off into a [[Permaculture sites]] article (compare [[:Category:Permaculture sites]] and [[Earthship sites]]). --[[User:Ethan|Ethan]] ([[User talk:Ethan|talk]]) 21:26, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
:After researching it a bit, it seems like a quick fix (tho I'm not very experienced in these things). I've informed the other active admins --[[User:Ethan|Ethan]] ([[User talk:Ethan|talk]]) 22:01, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
