For example, some issues already raised are whether links to Placeopedia should be added automatically to all Wikipedia articles that have a corresponding entry in Placeopedia. There is already a template for this on the English Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Placeopedia) but so far any links have only been added manually.
There already is a way to link to map services: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates]]. The only disatvantage is that it's not located at wikipedia but links to an external server. You should better focus on this but manually adding links to *any* single selected map service.
Another issue is whether users of Placepedia should be able to add categories to Wikipedia directly from Placeopedia.
Nope. Maybe when it'll be possible to move categories and watch categories (the additions/removes, not the pages!) without needing a bot.

P.S: You can automatically compare placeopedia data with wikipedia geodata templates and vice versa. Directly editing coordinates stored in wikipedia articles using placeopedia would be nice but I don't see an easy way to do this.
