[OSGeo-Discuss] Map of Wiki/OSGeo Members

[Christian Willmes]

Hello,

today I setup a live demo of the mediawiki extension I wrote on a 
internet accessible mediawiki installation on Arnulfs server. -> 
http://arnulf.us/UserLocalization_Example

In the moment its not really showing what its made for because there are 
only two users of this wiki instance in the moment.

It is not the question If I finish it, it is only the question when. ;-) 
But I like to work on it and I'm willing to make it better and better.

Yes, and also the privacy thing is maybe an issue. I think not everybody 
wants to have a "track" of his editing locations public accessible. Its 
just a nice thing for a geo mashup with the geocoding service I 
thought... and there was something about it on the discussion page ( 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category_talk:OSGeo_Member ).

I will try to make some more functions and improve it. I would be very 
happy for any suggestions for what could be better done or what would be 
a good additional function.

Best regards,
Christian
