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?

What about some collaboration with http://wiki.openstreetmap.org ?

A few more community FLOSS projects that might be interested in collaboration: *http://wikitravel.org/ - a large encyclopaedia-style wiki travel project *http://librivox.org/ - a project which creates and provides PD audiobooks (normally based on old PD texts, but they have the skills, the interest, and the know-how when it comes to producing free/libre spoken audio) *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spoken_Wikipedia - normally aims to create human spoken Wikipedia articles (again, has the skills, knowledge and interest)
It would be quite exciting for large projects with similar aims like these to actively collaborate on something like this. These projects ((especially) including Wikimedia), tend to stay within themselves, but we're all working toward the same aim.

One more candidate: Semapedia ( http://www.semapedia.org/ ) They could have additional tags that link to the audio tour.

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. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Miscellaneous_bookshelf#Travel_guides
