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

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.
