Hi James,
Does maps also include other rich content like graphs, charts, heat maps
and other forms of data visualization?
In reference to your question above, have you had a chance to read through the email that was sent yesterday, in regards to the Discovery team? [1] We discussed maps and graphs in that email, but not things like heat maps or other data visualizations as those are not a part of Discovery's current annual goals.
Cheers,
Deb

Looks like a reasonable change. Glad to see the degree of internal input that went into it.

Hi Jan --
Thanks for the question. We'll be making a more specific announcement
this
week about the future of the discovery projects. Sadly we don't have a
lot
of new information for maps in particular and will need to do a bit more scenario planning before we talk to the community.
As far as focus, most of our "reading" features are actually content created by editors that is consumed by readers and maps is no different. While we don't have specifics as far as the roadmap, both authoring and consumption features are totally in scope.
Hope this helps to provide some information (if not clarity :) about how
we
are approaching this.
-Toby

The team working on maps, the search experience, and the project
entry
portals (such as Wikipedia.org) will join the Readers team. This realignment will allow us to build more integrated experiences and knowledge-sharing for the end user.
Does maps going to readers mean that there will be less focus on
editors
tools for adding maps to articles and more focus on the readers
possibility
to interact with the maps? If so, what is actually in the pipeline for maps?
