Hello and thanks for writing :)
Norwegian Wikipedia already has mapframe enabled—have you had a chance to
play with the code yet? If not, learning how to use mapframe is fairly easy
for basic things and help can be found here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps/how_to:_embedded_maps.
More information about the map project and service can be found here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps. Also, for general discussion and
questions, please send an email to: Maps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org for great
knowledge sharing opportunities.
Let me know if you have further questions after taking a look at the
documentation. As Guillaume mentioned in his email, our engineering
resources are quite small right now, but I think everything you're wanting
to do can be done right now.
Cheers,
Deb
