Having had many run-ins with wikipedia over the years, I will not be
contributing any more to THAT side of things. Please do not make OHM
dependent on anything to do with wikipedia ... it will be a reason for
many of us to walk away ...
OSM has a good range of tools that will allow historic mapping to grow,
but what is missing is something we have been asking for some time, the
ability to overlay secondary data layers onto the main OSM map. Not
something that wikipedia can help with.
Hello,
I hope it's a kind of misunderstanding. There is nothing inside Wikimaps
that could be a show-stopper for OHM.
We want to scan and publish historical maps at Commons. If we are
successful with the georeferencing process, theses maps could be as a
side-effect included in an OSM-editor as base for OHM. If not, an other
project can fill this piece of the project. (But remember with Commons
we have an media archive and a community to handle over 17 million
images that's something what OSM not have. What we also have is a
relative good contact to libraries and museums.)
In the second step we will perhaps discuss like everybody else about the
best way to vectorize stuff, but we will not dictate anything. If we
have not better ideas, perhaps we also only following the process of OHM.
In the third step we want to use OHM-data like we do this with OSM-data
since 2009 at toolserver and we want to bring it to Wikipedia in similar
way like the WIWOSM project or in other ways. I can't see how this
should be a problem for OHM.
But what I see is that we can bring lot's of historian to the project
because we have inside Wikipedia thousands historical article’s that
waiting for better maps.
I hope this is an acceptable way for a cooperation.
Greetings Tim alias Kolossos
