[OSGeo-Discuss] Map of Wiki/OSGeo Members

[Christian Willmes]

Hi Mateusz, hi all,

I am an intern at WhereGroup [1] in the moment. And my work there was/is 
to implement  the "OSGeoMember Mashup"  [2] .
I have chosen to implemented an MediaWiki Extension called 
"UserLocalization" [3].
It can show maps of the WikiMembers which included a tag on their 
'User:Username' wiki site.
It is also possible to show edit locations of articles and users, by 
geocoding [4] the IP adresses from the editing remote hosts.
It uses Openlayers and PostGIS.

This Extension is in experimental stage, so in the moment it has still 
some bugs to fix...

And thats only my interpretation of the described Mashup [2], but I 
would be very happy about some feedback from you all. :-)

Best regards,
Christian
