User group for maps & mapping related activities in Wikimedia

I have made a proposal in IdeaLab to create a Wikimaps user group.

Do you think that would be a good way for the mapping community in Wikimedia to go forward?

Activities in the Wikimaps project have been focusing on historical mapping, but the Wikimaps user group would be made for all mapping related activities. The goal is that people with many different ideas for using the geographic component in their projects would come together, share their expertise and help each other forward.

The user group would give the community an affiliate status within the Wikimedia movement, while still keeping the group organic and without organizational structures.

If you think you can endorse or join, please visit the page and leave your mark!
