Hello all!
I have been contacted by kiwi_0x010C. He would be interested to
improve maps. In particular, he is looking at better integration of
the GeoGroup template [1] with Kartographer. He will be able to
explain the needs better than I can!
This probably requires some coordination, feature activation, ... Deb
can probably jump in and help move this forward.
Thanks all!

Subject: [OSM-talk] new Wikidata+OSM data in one RDF database
To: OpenStreetMap talk mailing list <talk(a)openstreetmap.org>
TLDR: A SPARQL (rdf) database with both OSM and Wikidata data is up for
testing. Allows massive cross-referenced queries between two datasets. The
service is a test, and needs a permanent home to stay alive.
Overpass Turbo is awesome, but sadly it does not have data from Wikidata,
nor does it support some SQL-like conditions. I have setup a temporary RDF
database that has both OSM & Wikidata. You can use SPARQL queries to find:
* All OSM objects with wikidata tag that references a Wikipedia
disambiguation page. Get the name of the page in first available language
ru, fr, de, en. http://tinyurl.com/mzlfb26
* OSM relations with wikidata tag pointing to a person (also tries multiple
language fallbacks). http://tinyurl.com/m6fh3wx
* OSM relations with duplicate Wikidata IDs http://tinyurl.com/mvhhogx
== OSM data structure ==
osmnode, osmway, osmrel - OSM object prefix, e.g. osmnode:1234
osmt - tag, e.g. osmt:name:en (only has tags with latin chars, -, _, :,
digits
osmm - meta data about the object -- type, isClosed, version.
I try to preserve OSM data without much changes. Every tag's value is
stored as a string, except for wikidata and wikipedia tags which are
converted to a URL, the same format as stored in Wikidata.
osmway:29453885
osmt:name "Samina";
osmt:waterway "river";
osmt:wikidata wd:Q156065;
osmt:wikipedia <https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samina>;
osmm:type "w"; #### could be "r", "w", and "n"
osmm:isClosed false; #### this meta property is only for OSM ways
osmm:version 24.
Wikidata data structure is identical to https://query.wikidata.org (see
help)
== Current limitations ==
* Only includes OSM objects with either "wikidata" or "wikipedia" tags
* The OSM data only contains tags with only Latin letters, digits and
symbols - : _
* OSM geometry info is not imported, e.g. no center point or bounding box,
except for osmm:isClosed (true/false) property for ways.
* Does not include OSM object inheritance data - e.g. cannot query for
"find a node that is part of a way which is part of a relation that has
wikidata tag that ..."
* Wikidata is updated every second, but OSM does not yet update at all,
imported from a full db dump as of a few days ago.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Security announcement: XSS when Kartographer is used
with JsonConfig
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, MediaWiki
announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
A stored XSS vulnerability was discovered when Kartographer is configured
to receive map data from wiki pages via JsonConfig. Unless your wiki has
both extensions installed and JsonConfig is configured to provide map data,
it is safe. Otherwise, you're encouraged to upgrade both extensions
IMMEDIATELY.
Affected versions:
* Versions for latest MediaWiki release, 1.28, don't support the
aforementioned functionality and therefore are not vulnerable.
* Versions for pre-release 1.29 and alpha 1.30 are affected and have fixes
applied in source control.
Upgrading:
You can download latest sources from Git[1] or ExtensionDistributor[2]
See this ticket for more information:

As part of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153282 a new style for
Wikimedia maps is being developed, and I've loaded up the whole planet
on one of my test servers as a test and demo.
The demo is available at http://legolas.paulnorman.ca:6789/, and through
"Compare" on the right-hand side of the interface you can compare it
with the current Wikimedia style, OpenStreetMap Carto, and lots of
others. Some other things to be aware of when comparing are
- The map is displayed with Kosmtik, a design tool with minimal caching,
and it might be restarted while I'm working on it
- Even though the server is faster than production, it may appear slower
because it doesn't have everything cached
- The OSM data on the server is normally within a day of the latest data
- Some roads are missing with https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T160781
Some of the more noticeable style changes are
- Road colours are different, helping view the overall layout of the city
- There are fewer cases of subtly different shades of green.
- Bridges and multi-level road constructions are now handled properly,
which should make some areas easier to figure out
Feedback is welcome, either through email, phab tickets, or by IRC in
#wikimedia-interactive on freenode.
Schedule update below.

Hello,
Small change: due to the server switch

Hello all,
We’ve been working on a new data type that allows you to link to the
*geographical
shapes* that are now stored on Commons. This data type will be deployed on
Wikidata on *April 17th*.
This data type refers to the geographical shapes that are enabled on
Wikimedia Commons since the beginning of this year. Here you can find more
information about this <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps>.
The property creators will be able to create properties with this geoshape
data type by selecting “Geographical shape” in the data type list.
When the property is created, you can use it in statements, and when
filling the value, if you start typing a string, you can choose the name of
a geoshape in the list of what exists on Commons.
[image: Screenshot test geoshape in Wikidata.png]
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_test_geoshape_in_Wikidat…>
One thing to note: We currently do not export statements that use this
datatype to RDF. They can therefore not be queried in the Wikidata Query
Service. The reason is that we are still waiting for geoshapes to get
stable URIs. This is handled in this ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161527>.
Before the deployment, you can test it on http://test.wikidata.org (see for
example the property “geotest” on Q22 <https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22>).
If you have any question, feel free to ask!
Cheers,

Hi everyone!
The Wikimaps User Group will start! The goal is that people with many
different ideas for using the geographic component in their projects within
Wikimedia can come together, share their expertise and help each other
forward.
We are starting to discuss how the user group will function and invite you
to join the group and the discussion!
How shall the affiliate do outreach? Will we facilitate projects? Do we
form partnerships? How do we meet and communicate?
Join the Wikimaps User Group!
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimaps_User_Group#Join_the_group>
Join the discussion!
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimaps_User_Group/Activity>
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hi everyone!
I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized
the Wikimaps User Group [1] as a Wikimedia User Group.
The group aims to gather Wikimedia users engaged in a variety of activities
related to geographic information from across the movement, so that people
with different ideas for using geographic components in their projects are
able to come together, share their expertise, and help each other.
Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!
