[MapQuery] comparing edugis and git code

[Steven M. Ottens]

Hi Volker, others,

(Sorry, mail got out before I finished, so here the complete mail)

I've compared the mapquery code we're using for EduGIS 
(http://research.geodan.nl/edugis or http://kaart.edugis.nl) with the 
code in the master tree.

master:
jquery.mapquery.core.js is almost untouched, we added a few more layer 
types line 83 (OSM, TMS, Google and an alert for unknown type)
jquery.mapquery.layercontrol is exactly the same

missing in master are:
jquery.mapquery.featureproperties.js
jquery.mapquery.geosearch.js
jquery.mapquery.history.js
jquery.mapquery.legend.js
jquery.mapquery.mouseposition.js
jquery.mapquery.overviewmaps.js
jquery.mapquery.permalink.js
jquery.mapquery.scalebar.js
jquery.mapquery.toc.js
jquery.mapquery-ui.featureinfo.js
jquery.mapquery-ui.legend.js

I noticed that the vmx branch is quite a bit different from master  (for 
instance var self has been introduced). The EduGIS code is very much 
coded in the style of the master. The master hasn't been touched for 
quite a while, so I would presume that new insights on how to do things 
have not ended up in the master branch.

As you can see there is quite a lot of code in the EduGIS code base, so 
the question is how do we proceed? I can put everything in a branch in 
git and than we start merging code with the vmx branch and other 
branches into a new master?

Also we introduced jquery.mapquery-ui for widgets which depend on 
jquery-ui so making it possible to do all kinds of nifty flashy 
thingies. But for those who do not need those or want to use a different 
ui library, the basic logic is still retained in it's sister in the 
jquery.mapquery namespace (eg jquery.mapquery.legend.js and 
jquery.mapquery-ui.legend.js)

regards,
Steven
