Grants:IdeaLab/WikiWorld

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
statusinactive
WikiWorld (a Map of the World and Man's History, a four dimensions encyclopedia where all Wiki-files and pages are contained and attainable)
summaryIt is the project of a world map (such as Google Earth) where the entire History of Man is collected.

That is a 4-dimensional place that collects Wikipedia pages, Wikicommons files, and locates them in the precise place and time etc. In addition to this, any user will be able to perform a search by typing in an hour or a day of a specified period of time, and in any place of the map the most significant historical events will be marked (on higher or lower "event notability" will perhaps be called a votation among users) with images documents exhibits etc. etc. Similarly, every famous person will be located in the place where She/He was as reported by documentary sources.

It will be a new way of seeing and presenting the encyclopedia (in a format that will no longer be linear, or shall we say "paratactic", derived from the paper model: but a three-dimensional format, modeled on reality, and able to scroll in time)

amountMuch more than money, we'll need to build a network of people, such as valid designers and expert programmers above all.

Project plan

Activities

[edit]

To launch a project that needs the best programmers and the help of as many people as possible

Budget

[edit]

I'm just the one who had the idea: it will have life through the work of hundreds of people and the support of the Wikimedia community in the totality of its staff, and not only them.

Community engagement

Sustainability

[edit]

Our project will be a platform designed to advance exponentially just as a new form of knowledge acquisition.

Measures of success

[edit]

It will take a long time for this project to come to life officially, but until then, the greatest success will be to gather around it as many people as possible.
