GeographTools
Welcome to GeographTools, unoffical extension to Geograph British Isles. The items below the double line, havent been maintained since about 2012, and might well not work. The only three tools still maintained are:
- Media hosting (file hosting for files and non geograph images for articles etc)
- Speculative uploads (temporally hosting to get help locating photo before uploading to geograph)
- Javascript Playground (hosting for simple projects with easy access to Geograph APIs)
- Geograph Worldwide is also hosted here

In case you wondering what my interest is in Geograph... Well I've had a facination with maps from an early age, and also have been hacking (not cracking!!) around with computers almost as long, bring into that my minor interest in photography, and Geograph seems the perfect fusion. I feel I've been able to bring quite a bit of experience (and data!) to the project from my work on trigtools.co.uk and nearby.org.uk sites. Its also been my first forray offically into open source, which after a few hurdles am much enjoying. (for the record, the main stumbling block has been the tidyness of my code ;-)
If you think you can contribute in a similar way please consider becoming a developer or simply you may be interested in using the Geograph API. Thanks for your interest.
