Have you had a look at how many of those entries have actual
coordinate, or even province/country entries? I think "missing" data
is going to be your bigger challenge.
If we had a membership sign up form that also allows users to enter
coordinates - or click a map. Then we could easily have it feed
automatically into a community map. But I'm still interested to see
what you can come up with via mediawiki! Unfortunately, I'm pretty
ignorant of its capabilities on this front.

Hi,
During Cascadoss events, Markus and I, we discussed that it could be
interesting to build a map of all OSGeo Members [1], events and other
geographically referenced content of our Wiki.
There is number of geo-plugins available for MediaWiki, so it's
easy to
get lost. I found Google Map Extension [2] for MediaWiki that looks
interesting.
I'd like to hear opinions about such map and recommendations of map
extensions for MediaWiki, that we could use for that purpose.
After I have necessary technical details collected for this new
features, I'm going to ask Webcom if it's possible to get it
implemented.
