Subject: Projekt GALILEO (Wikipedia with Geographical information) From: Jakob Voss <gmane-user(a)nichtich.de> Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 11:39:52 +0200 To: foundation-l(a)wikipedia.org, wikide-l(a)wikipedia.org, vorstand(a)wikimedia.de Hi, As some of you already may have noticed there is the "First European Idea Competition of the Satellite Navigation" called "GALILEO Masters 2004" [1]. Stefan Richter announced the idea to participate. Only european companies are allowed so Wikimedia Germany or freiheit.com [2] (the company where Stefan Richter works) would apply. Deadline is Friday the 30th of this month. To participate you have to fill in a questionaire [3] and you may add up to two images. We already have most of the proposal and a discussion with collections of ideas [4] - the latter mostly in German but the proposal is the most important. Missing tasks: * We need the cooperation of Wikimedia Foundation and the community * Who should participate (the competition is aimed to small companies so maybe freiheit.com would be good choice for a cooperation)? * Formulating the missing answers * Perfecting all the answers * Two images for demonstration purpose (I drew [5] but some fictious screenshots may be more suasive) * Summarizing and translating the discussion and the ideas (mainly for us and later) Everybody is invited to participate until next wendsday (deadline). Please try to seperate discussion and proposals or summaries. We should have a conclusive concept before starting to implement anything. I am sure that we will have the most useful database of free annotated geographical data in two years! There are applications most of the normal internet or encyclopedia reader has not even dreamed of. Let's go for it!
