Hi I'm getting hundreds of these mails, but my toolserver account (mazder) is not existing anymore and I can't login to fix ptolemy. Maybe someone could eadd a >/dev/null to the cronjob.

Best way to use a map in an infobox nowadays
by Quim Gil 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

(Putting my ca.wiki volunteer hat on) There is a very old template in ca.wiki about mountain huts [1]. It basically looks and works as it looked and worked in 2007. I'm thinking that it is perhaps a good opportunity to try something I have been wanting to try for a long time: embed a map in a template. I'm more or less aware how you can do this with Template:Geobox or similar systems relying on collections of maps to put a dot on. However, I was wondering what is the state of the art in the times of Lua, OSM, and Wikidata. Is it possible to have something like this * Editor introduces geolocation coordinates and saves. * The right OSM tile is chosen based on the coordinates, showing e.g. the 50km surrounding the place. * If users clicks the map, they jump to an actual map where they can zoom etc. Or at least a bigger and more detailed static image showing, say, a 200 km range. If none of this exists yet, which template would you recommend using today, and what project should I look at for new releases in this direction? Thank you.

Fwd: We need to organize a Tech Talk (with OSM)
by Quim Gil 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

For your information, today at the Wikimedia Hackathon some of us had the pleasure to walk, learn, and talk with Simon Poole, chairman of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Long story short, we could talk more and collaborate better beyond the priceless personal dedication of some volunteers with links in both projects. Let's have a chat! Online. In your opinion, which are the most important technical topics that Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap should discuss? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Quim Gil* <qgil(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Saturday, May 10, 2014 Subject: We need to organize a Tech Talk To: simon@osm Please check with your community which are the 1-2 topics that they would like to discuss with Wikimedia Foundation engineers and the technical community in general. Let's start with 1-2 only. If there are more, let's document all of them at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap See also https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Upstream_projects -- OSM *must* be in our radar.

Wikimaps Nordic blog post about maps at the Wikimedia hackathon in Zürich
by Susanna Ånäs 05 Jun '14

http://wikimaps.wikimedia.fi/2014/05/19/maps-at-the-zurich-hackathon/ Also: How can the people on these lists best communicate with each other and allow various GLAM communities to participate? I have proposed the creation of a new mailing list for the Wikimaps project (GLAM, Nordic, historical) in the Wikimedia space, but would an existing list be sufficient? Maps-l?

wikipedia to OSM
by Simone Cortesi 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Hi, I don't know if this has been reported here or not. A quick email to let you know that some time ago our own Cristian Consonni and Simone F. released a nice wikipeda to OpenStreetMap integration which is online at: http://geodati.fmach.it/gfoss_geodata/osm/wtosm/index_2.html it allows you to add coordinates to wikipedia articles and add wikipedia page links to OSM objects. Uses Catscan to find out which pages do require coordinates. The tool is currently only available in italian. In the UI: "temi" reads "themes", and "regioni" reads "regions" Thanks, Simone.
