Hi all
I am Basil George, a research scholar at IIIT, Hyderabad<
http://iiit.ac.in/>gt;,
India. I have submitted an IEG proposal to build a
tool for easy
visualization of revision histories of Wikipedia pages along with their
relevant statistics by rendering them onto a map. The tool will also
provide suggestions as to which geographical areas lack editors on a
particular topic. Free and open source geo-spatial technologies will be
used for this project which, we hope, will encourage more technology
developers to pitch in and contribute to developing Wikimedia.
Please go through the proposal

and
do endorse it if you find it interesting.
Looking forward to a good discussion.
Thanks and regards,

First off its nice to see technical ieg's being proposed.
How do you plan to gelocate logged in users. Logged in user's ips are
considered sensitive and your tool will not have access to them to do geo
ip stuff on. You could maybe try and process user pages but that sounds
difficult.
