I'm working on making a generic "map" class, and extending the class for different map types/sources (e.g. osm, world wind, or other types), and working with particular portions of the OpenLayers code. The delay loading works to load the JavaScript, only when a user requests a wiki page that has a map, though I think there is room for improving how this works.
Anyway, I can get the changes back into the MediaWiki svn in the next day or two. For me to continue committing unstable versions of code to Mediawiki svn, I would like the code to have version numbers. On the extension page, we should link to some "beta" (reasonably functional) version for people to download.
Another issue is to make sure Christian has MediaWiki svn commit access. I'm not sure of the status on getting him access.

I added you and Ævar to the project on Google Code, which can be used for more active development and experimental things that aren't quite ready
and
tested to go on the Wikimedia SVN. As development proceeds, we can then commit tested and stable versions of the development code to the
Wikimedia
SVN.
The issue tracker feature may also be useful to keep track of who's doing what and what features we want. If we can get development space like
this
on the map toolserver or somewhere else, that would be good but this
works
for now.
14:38:43 < JeLuF> avar: Why is this extension in google code and not in our SVN? I'll have a look at the delayed loading and make a patch for it.
Aude, don't be afraid to break MW extensions in svn, everything there is pretty much already broken anyway. You could add it to /extension/wikimaps and then we could merge it.
I think we should move this to MW svn ASAP, especially with the imminent deployment of the OSM Toolserver.
It would be nice to move the bugs to, which is waiting on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18391 for now.
Do you have MediaWiki SVN access? If not should I commit this? (and you should obviously get access).
