Hello developers, I am Rishikesh Suryavanshi and I am currently pursuing a bachelor's in Information Technology at Pune Institute of Computer Technology. Being a second-year student I have become confident and fairly experienced in Web development languages including Javascript, CSS, Bootstrap, React, and different frontend as well as backend frameworks. This project falls well in my current capabilities and I will be very excited to work on this. I look forward to hearing from you and further working on this project. Thank you for reading, |

Hello OWID community, My name is Bharat Chandwani, and I am a computer science undergraduate at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Gwalior. Right now, I have set up Grapher locally and opened some PR. How will you tweak the borders of any specific country in case of conflict? (I assume that the borders would be a GeoJson MultiPolygon). Thank You |

DIFFICULTY: HARD, SIZE: 350 HOURS
Project
In most topics we cover, we try to find the longest-run series that help us see the big changes over time. Often these extend several decades in the past and include entities that no longer exist. For example, our meat supply per person chart contains Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and USSR, which cannot be plotted on a map of the same data.
We would like to be able to create maps that have changing borders over time – as you move the timeline backwards and forwards, you would see different country borders.
It is likely a difficult task to find the “right” country borders, and something we will be tweaking over time. The goal of the project is the technical implementation to make these changing-borders-over-time possible.
