Hello, I moved with my Wikipedia coordinate extraction project Wikipedia-World: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/Wikiped... from Mysql to PostGIS on ptolemy.
The most advantage is that it is much faster and really support all 273 languages. I have 3 tables for different zoomlevels and use a geometry index (gist). I use coordinates-database from dispenser and merge the entries with the interwikilinks to one table.
I support the parameter "title" and can so extract more than one coordinate per article. Everybody on ptolemy should have access to the database u_kolossos.
I hope ptolemy will be stable over the next few days because I want to publish the tool to the german community. I would be happy if somebody else make a announcement to the other wikipedia communities.
Greetings Kolossos
