THIS IS GREAT.

One of the best uses of cc I have seen lately. At Basque wikipedia we have been trying to include maps uing data uploaded to commons and then using Kartographer directly. But this solution is way better. What would we need to deploy there and serve as an example of what can be done?

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Our World in Data (OWID)

 

We at Wiki Project Med are working to get Our World in Data (OWID) working within a mediawiki environment.

1) We have created a mirror of their website on WMF servers. Hopefully this has allowed us to address security and privacy concerns.

2) We have created an extension that allows the use of this content within a mediawiki install

3) We have made a bunch of changes to formatting, such as removing the logo, to make it compliant with WP practice and style. You can see an example on MDWiki in the infobox here.

My question to the movement is are their communities interested in using this technology? There are about 4,000 of these graphs. We of course will also need to develop a framework for translation. 

Best
