Very cool, Sandra, thanks for the link! I remember at the New Year's party (was it as far back as 2013?) when plans for this were made. This result is really great.

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)
