[OSGeo-Discuss] New Semantic Mediawiki based OSGeo Member Map for the OSGeo Wiki

[Christian Willmes]

Thank you for your very good Feedback Cameron and Jorge!

I created your feedback points as issues for the OSGeo Wiki SMW model 
repository [1]. So you can track the progress, some of them are a bit 
tricky, I think I will need some days. I plan to add the changes during 
the coming weekend into the OSGeo wiki.

Some answers to questions or feedback, I did not implemented already or 
created an issue on github for, are inline below.

Yes account creation is disabled, if you want an account for testing I 
can set one up and send the credentials of list.

The field is optional. Maybe someone want to give the address of his 
work place?

Interesting, but I don't know any implementation for this problem for 
Mediawiki.

This one is quite tricky, because I have to find out how to trigger an 
update of the members data from a users (unrelated) activity on the 
wiki. It should be possible dynamically through the API, but I'm not 
100% sure yet on how to do it.

Cheers,
Christian
