For the short term, I think further exploration of the Map namespace is great, but I think generic visualization work could go into the Visualization namespace. My suggestion for a name for this namespace may seem a bit obscure. It's a word that means "to illuminate": Limn [5].
- It's a word that is difficult to translate.
I'm open to alternatives, but my original choice (WikiViz) was taken
FYI, Limn is also sort of taken in the MediaWiki/WMF namespace: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Limn

Yep, but that Limn is dying slowly. If we do this new extension properly, it will take its place. As Erik said, this is not staffed for success right now but it would address many shared needs.
