the news says "From November 1, schools can register at ‘ www.schoolwiki.in’ and enter on it a variety of details including their location, number of students, facilities, academic achievements, clubs, school magazines, details of alumni and an unlimited number of photographs, videos and even *Google maps*. School Wiki — which will be in Malayalam —will be ready for launch on January 1, 2010. This, however, will be just the first part of this new venture." in the news it is mentioned that the wiki will have google maps. a suggestion is put forward here to use "open street map" (OSM), www.openstreetmap.org instead of google maps as OSM is free map server, where as google maps is not. and the message is to be forwarded to anwar sadath as he is the executive director of the school wiki project.
