Hope to be a topic of discussion and hacking at Berlin hackathon. Get
some gadget enabled on enwiki, spend time to improve the dewiki gadget
and work on other maps tools.
(who all will be there? who will be in Haifa for hacking days +
wikimania?)
I'd be
thankful for any further links as well.
I'm curious too. Has there been any discussion of how the change in
OSM license will affect integration?
Compatibility of licenses is over my head. Is this something Geoff
would be able to look at?
Are there any Wikipedia ---> OSM
information-sharing scripts that may break as a result?
OSM already can't and doesn't use anything from wikipedia since wiki
coordinates are tainted with derived google maps data. (by US
standards, the coordinates are just facts, non-copyrightable and okay
that wikipedians collect them that way). By UK/EU law, google maps
derived data is protected by database rights and osm operates under
such. ODBL is attempting to address database rights while CC-BY-SA
does not.
Sharing and reusing osm data on wikipedia is okay and think still will
be with license change but not sure what we need to do to ensure we
comply with license terms.
Cheers,
Katie
