Thank you Brad,
done it.
however, I understand there is no wikipedia api to expose the nearby search
at the moment, correct?
a) do you plan to set it up ?
b) would it be possible to use the
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby
but instead of pointing the link to the wikipedia page, to point the link
to our db (which is mapped on the wikipedia) ?
how to ?
I would like to return the results possibly using the curid of pages, not
only titles.
