Wow, this looks amazing! I'm looking forward to
use it other Wikis,
especially Wikipedia and Meta.
Thank you for your great work!

The quest to bring maps to Wikipedia continues:
* Kartographer has launched for WikiVoyage
* Julien Girault will help maps with his UI expertise
* Talk to us at the FreeNode IRC channel #wikipedia-interactive

Last week we enabled Kartographer extension for Wikivoyage sites,

== What's next? ==
There will be plenty of cleanup and polishing work to make Kartographer
work seamlessly. We will need to address the missing functionality
reported
to us by the community, and help migrate existing
wmflabs-based maps to
the
new platform. Lastly, VE editing will need some
more work to become
indispensable.
Yet, our site is still set on the bigger target - maps for all of
Wikipedia. For that we are waiting for more hardware, plus we will need
to
improve our static maps service to be able to
handle wiki-load.
Hardware task:

Thank you Max Semenik, Ed Sanders, Alex Kosiaris, Brandon Black, Chris
Koerner, Chris Steipp, Tomasz Finc, and Wes Moran for making this
possible.
