Hi Andy:
Basically the same answer as last year: if anyone is willing to develop the same for OSM (or has developed it and wants to describe) it is all up to the local team to make the choice. We primarily want to make sure the option of showing a map is there.
Best, Lodewijk

Can this use OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps?

Hello all, it has come to my attention (although I cannot find a mailing list thread about it /yet/) that it was suggested that we should have a Google Maps plugin for Wordpress displaying maps for a certain region (a country/province/county/even municipality), with data being loaded from our erfgoed database.
This being said, I have to admit that I am no good programmer, so I'd like to point you to an existing example of such a solution, which was developed last year by Nuno Tavares for use in the 2011 WLM in Portugal -- see http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/monumentos.php. From the source code I can see that the maps are being loaded in a frame (<iframe />) with the help of a PHP script; but taking all the technical details aside, this is a great tool with a wonderful potential to be used on the national sites of the participating countries.
So, my question here is: have you heard of such a plugin (it's always safe to ask, I presume :-)? If it doesn't exist yet, is there a volunteer here who might be willing to spend some time developing it? (I have no idea how hard it might be to create it.) What do you think about such a tool -- would you, as a national WLM organiser, use it on your website? Please let me know!
Thanks, Tomasz
