I'm Scott Murray, a new user interested in contributing data, as well as coding and analysis experience to help create, maintain and improve tools and scripts.

Specifically, my passions for history and maps combine to inspire my dream of a 4D Wikipedia - a digital globe that navigates space and time. I have built a few (free, as in beer) tools that help me create and edit KML on my personal website, KML Workbench.

While I dream, I'll contribute content:

  • I'll be adding overlays of maps to help show who/what was where, when.
  • I'll be adding paths (linestrings) of routes to help show what/who was where, when.
  • I'll be adding polygons to help show the areas occupied by peoples, states, etc. over time.
  • I want a "Download KML" button on (nearly) every page!

As a new user, I welcome any feedback that helps me perform these tasks well.
