User:Robert Harrison~metawiki/Reformat of Proposals for new projects and related pages/Wikimaps
Wikimaps[edit]
- Link to proposal on mailing list: [1]
- Naming suggestions: Wikimaps, probably Geowiki
- Domain name: wikimaps.wikimedia.org
- Scope: Collect geographic data in wiki pages which can be rendered into maps to be used in wikimedia (and other) projects
- Details: Geo (should be moved to Wikimaps or something...)
- Proposer: Magnus Manske
- People interested joining:
- Daniel Mayer
- John N.
- Centroles
- Merlin of Eragon: good idea.
- Lhademmor 08:57, 26 January 2006 (UTC) Sounds nice
- Relevant links: Working demo (requires SVG-enabeled browser to actually see the maps)
- Comments:
- Shane: Could work with the wikiGPS idea
- Can Java Applets run on Wikipages? If so can I suggest such as Geosphere? (http://hm-geosphere.sourceforge.net/)
I think there is also a discusson to be had about Geotags.
