Thanks Tim, I'm a bit aware of the new display possibilities. But I'm looking for *cloud mapmaking* (editing) for encyclopedic maps such the Roman empire in 120 CE, the Tang dynasty ca 700, etc. Is there around a such project/system/website where I —as a graphist— can create and edit historical maps, adding specific shapes, coloring them, becoming an online-cloud map that can then be displayed in Wikipedia the same way as WikiMiniAtlas. Is there a cloud mapmaking tool for wikipedia ? -- Yug

Dear all,The mapmakers using Inkscape / photoshop on wikipedia (WP:GL/M) to generate the articles' maps currently work file after file, which generate scores of background / data duplication which are increasingly hard to manage. Also, we are willing to know : is there any ongoing project/system/extension to create a kind of free google maps where we ?graphists? may *create and edits* encyclopedic maps in the clouds ?
I noticed :
* http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/ - display many layers, no edit
functions.
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Map_extensions - don't seems to
have such extension.* the online editing tool is missing ? Regards,-- Yug
