I'm working on making a generic "map" class, and extending the class for different map types/sources (e.g. osm, world wind, or other types), and working with particular portions of the OpenLayers code.  The delay loading works to load the JavaScript, only when a user requests a wiki page that has a map, though I think there is room for improving how this works. 

Anyway, I can get the changes back into the MediaWiki svn in the next day or two.   For me to continue committing unstable versions of code to Mediawiki svn, I would like the code to have version numbers.  On the extension page, we should link to some "beta" (reasonably functional) version for people to download.

Another issue is to make sure Christian has MediaWiki svn commit access.  I'm not sure of the status on getting him access.

14:38:43 < JeLuF> avar: Why is this extension in google code and not
in our SVN? I'll have a look at the delayed loading and make a patch
for it.

Aude, don't be afraid to break MW extensions in svn, everything there
is pretty much already broken anyway. You could add it to
/extension/wikimaps and then we could merge it.

I think we should move this to MW svn ASAP, especially with the
imminent deployment of the OSM Toolserver.

It would be nice to move the bugs to, which is waiting on
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18391 for now.

Do you have MediaWiki SVN access? If not should I commit this? (and
you should obviously get access).
