httpsImprove MapKnitter Lite for mapmaking with aerial photos as a lightweight web service

Adapt parts of MapKnitter.org, a complex and powerful system which lets you upload your own aerial images, position/rubbersheet them in a web interface over existing map data, and share via web or composite and export for print. We are prototyping ways this could be done without depending on an expensive server, and instead adapting the JavaScript heart of MapKnitter to run as a lightweight service using Internet Archive image collections. Once a visitor can paste in the URL of an Internet Archttps://archive.org/details/texas-barnraising/hive image collection and begin making a map with it, we will extend this to include saving maps, and even want to try making use of the latest in JavaScript image processing to prototype full-resolution image compositing and download in the browser. This project sets groundwork for working locally/offline or from a static page using just the core browser-based library Leaflet.DistortableImage, then we would be happy with an attempt at completely in-browser map exporting process, but it is OK if we don't get that far.
