Many Maps API developers have been asking for a better channel of communication between the Google Maps team and the developer community, and we have been listening. The Maps engineering team and I plan on posting typical blog things to this list, but we are going to focus on the issues that will help API developers the most, including:
- An (approximately) weekly changelist listing the updates we are pushing to the API that week
- Official announcements and updates
- Workarounds for common API problems
- Techniques for using the API and AJAX in general, e.g, techniques to avoid memory leaks in IE
- API sites that have caught our attention
