During the Zurich hackathon, DJ Hartman, Aude and I knocked up a generic maps prototype extension [1]. We have noticed that many maps like extensions keep popping up and believed it was time we standardised on one that all these extensions could use so we share data better.
1) Will it be moved to Gerrit? 2) One of my use cases is creating maps of translators [1]. Will it be able to display OSM maps based on Semantic MediaWiki properties?

For the short term, I think further exploration of the Map namespace is great, but I think generic visualization work could go into the Visualization namespace. My suggestion for a name for this namespace may seem a bit obscure. It's a word that means "to illuminate": Limn [5].
3) It's a word that is difficult to translate.
