This is already done in the beta version of Wikipedia. You can run it if you have got a Wikipedia account. Every given coordinate in an Wikipeida article has got an OSM-link now, which will open an embedded OSM-map. >I think this would be a good promotion towards osm. >I am not much into editing wikipedia but I just wanted to get the ball rolling. The german OSM and german Wikipedia each has got 3 high-end servers for OSM-applications. On the FOSSGIS 2010 with included OSM congress, which ended yesterday, the developers of both projects together performed a workshop concerning that stuff: http://www.fossgis.de/konferenz/2010/events/113.de.html They told us, that there are many things on the road, like i.e. maps in every Wikipedia language. For this application the name:language: tag will be important. The advantage is, that you can read i.e russian or chinese parts of OSM maps in latin letters or vice versa. I.e. here is a tool by one of the developers in order to establish a multilingual country-list: http://toolserver.org/~mazder/multilingual-country-list/ Furthermore the free multimedia database Wikimedia Commons is now integrated into OSM. That means, that every photo you can find in Wikipedia articles you can embed in OSM-Wiki article as well. Here is an OSM Wiki example with many Commons photos embedded: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Tag:highway%3Dtrunk Vice versa OSM people can upload their (georeferenced) photos at the free multimedia database Wikimedia Commons now: http://commons.wikimedia.org The developers also think about integrating the georeferenced Commons photos into an OSM map as it is known from Google Maps together with http://www.panoramio.com/. As you can see, the ball is rolling. :-) ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

There's an existing project within the Wikimedia foundation to
integrate OpenStreetMap maps into wikipedia (and presumably other
Wikimedia projects). They have hardware already, and are in the
process of setting up development machines ("toolservers" in Wikimedia
term) and looking at getting map servers into the Wikimedia production
clusters.
They have a mailing list for discussions, and if it's something you're
interested in then I'd suggest joining them there.
