TangoSud Project

TangoSud Project intends to provide a usable database for tango venues. Primarily designed with MySQL for tango venues in the South of France, this project is being rewritten here by using wiki tools, the current status is shown on a map.

Four types of information are expected:

• the tango cities : they are defined in tango.info by their UN/LOCODE
• the tango venues : any place where one can dance tango, these venues are linked to tango cities
• the tango organizers: any person or association or whatever who organizes tango parties in tango venues
• the tango milongas : any tango parties organized in tango venues

All this information is stored in this wiki.tango, TangoSud Project uses some wiki features to provide updated list of milongas available in a city for instance.

Warning (2008-10-23): this project is really at its initial stage... The test bed for this project is Aix-en-Provence and its milonga places.

Main Functions

1. Displaying the general map of cities: gmap TangoSud
2. For each city:
   • Listing the tango venues with their milongas
   • Displaying the city map with the venues locations
   • Providing the calendar of milongas or similar events (practicas for instance)
3. For each tango venue:
   • Providing the address and other coordinates
   • Providing the calendar of scheduled milongas

  • the <dpl> block defined here (TBD).
