Outgoing GeoRSS feed to allow others to subscribe to map updates #11

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
For many use cases (e.g. media outlets embedding a map, crisis mappers looking 
for data), it would be useful for others to subscribe to map updates, so they 
can make announcements about new layers and information becoming available. 

We could offer a georss feed for each map, that includes the name of each 
active layer for a map and some additional metadata (to be determined).  As a 
map gets updated with additional content, the outgoing georss would be 
correspondingly updated for map subscribers to consume.

I think that this would be a great feature, it may be possible that if we could 
do a georss feed for each map, it may be allowable to push that information to 
social media by chance......
