==Project idea==
==Project idea==
ShareMap.org project was launched 2.5 years ago to create a map creation tool. The project idea is to implement some missing features, find all the errors and fund the infrastructure on which the project can exist. Volunteers that can spread the word on wikpedia on the program and the project will be gladly welcome. We presume that 70% of the work was already done and that 30% still needs to be done.
