[GeoNode-users] GeoNode WorldMap client to be part of GeoNode

[Paolo Corti]

I forgot to mention that this client extends the GeoNode serialization
format. Therefore maps whic are created using the WorldMap client will not
be compatible with the default GeoNode client. It should be simple anyway
to write a Django command which converts maps back and forth
