Aude, I will look a bit at your GIS links, but remember that they specifically won't fund projects that are only digitising existing collections. Quote: "We encourage projects that explore new ways to share, examine, and interpret humanities collections in a digital environment and to develop new uses and audiences for existing digital resources." Hm... actually some kind of GIS project might work well, especially if it making them more accessible. OK, two things to think about: What will the benefit to a potential partner be? Anything besides a credit acknowledgement? Secondly how would such a project exploit the benefits of using a wiki? Or would it not at all?
cheers, Brianna

One of the greatest shortcomings I see with Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects is with our use of maps and geospatial data. I have seen ideas here and there on this mailing list and other places, but it's a big issue to work through.
