[OSGeo-Edu] geodictionary and wiktionary

[Charlie Schweik]

For what it is worth, my reaction is why not contribute to this larger
effort? I guess one question would be if someone wanted to add a glossary to
a OSGeo book (e.g., Victor's Free GIS book or another one) would they be
able to extract relevant entries to include in the book? Marcus, I recall
you had such a need, don't you?

Finally, sometime this week I'm going to begin soliciting help for our
various new edu agenda items. 

Cheers
Charlie

To try out wiktionary.org, I created a test entry to see how it's  
done and it wasn't too painful:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/geospatial

To create a translation of it, you just add another section with the  
language name.  There are more ways to do it with a fancy little matrix:

Do you think this site will work for OSGeo geodictionary needs,  
rather than hosting our own?  If there are suggestions for improving  
their site, they are open to it.
