Hi everyone,

To summarize (some of) the results of my Wikipedian in Residence project of last year, a web application was built and launched yesterday: http://www.expeditiewikipedia.nl/ 

It's a geographic visualization tool for a series of historical events, linked to Wikipedia. My WiR project was about expeditions, and this web tool puts these expeditions, their Wikipedia articles and/or Commons images 'on the map’, as a journey.

The best examples of Wikipedia and Commons integration are in the Dutch-language expeditions in the application.

It's a pilot, and the source code is open sourced on Github - https://github.com/ndkv/vm ... feel free to download, tweak, investigate, contact me and/or the developer if you have questions :-)

Many greetings, Sandra (User:Spinster)
