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.
Regards, Peter

(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.

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?

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.
Thank you for the conversation and the walk!

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.
