I saw another site recently which also integrated Wikipedia results into its performance (in a way which was not a simple mirror) -- seeing two of these in one day made me think perhaps we'd need a category for these specifically (I couldn't find one pre-existing), so I created [[Category:Technologies which use Wikipedia]] for the time being (not the most elegant name -- in fact I think it is grammatically incorrect now that I think about it, the whole which/that thing -- but fortunately at the moment I know of only two of them so it shouldn't be hard to change). If there are others of this sort, it would be great to put them into a category of this sort (assuming one doesn't already exist), though if someone wants to rename my sad little category, please do...

Placeopedia is an online application which integrates Google Maps images and Wikipedia encyclopedia articles.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placeopedia andhttp://www.placeopedia.com/.
The Board are currently working on a logo licensing contract which would permit such sites to use the Wikipedia logo.
A new mailing list for Placeopedia has recently been created at http://www.mysociety.org/mailman/listinfo/mysociety-maps and they would welcome input from Wikipedians on various aspects of the site.
For example, some issues already raised are whether links to Placeopedia should be added automatically to all Wikipedia articles that have a corresponding entry in Placeopedia. There is already a template for this on the English Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Placeopedia) but so far any links have only been added manually.
Another issue is whether users of Placepedia should be able to add categories to Wikipedia directly from Placeopedia.
If you have an interest in maps, please join the mailing list to help answer these Wikipedia-related questions. http://www.mysociety.org/mailman/listinfo/mysociety-maps
