I just returned from Spain where I was using those
little hand-held audio
devices to tour the Alhambra, etc. Just wondering whether audio tours are
(or could be) collected on wikimedia – wouldn't it be great if there were
enough tours that you could log your gps position o and here something
historical about the place where you are standing? Lexi
http://openaudio.wikia.com was created to do that earlier this year.
So far, there is only info on how it could work and no actual audio
tours available yet. It's a difficult thing to collaborate on.
Within Wikimedia, I'd assume Wikibooks' travel section would be the
best place to create the scripts for the audio before someone recorded
them for Commons. So far there is very little travel info on
Wikibooks.
