I always though it was kind of nice that the OpenBSD project had a
world map of its developers on their website
(
http://www.openbsd.org/goals.html) and I always meant to make one
like it for MediaWiki, maybe based on the NASA blue marble data where
people could enter the coordinates where they resided and they would
be added automatically.
Luckily, I don't have to do that, I stumbled across a website that
allows you to create maps like this for your group, you can access it
at
http://www.frappr.com and our group is at
http://www.frappr.com/mediawikidevelopers , there's an RSS feed of it
too for those that are interested:
http://www.frappr.com/?a=rss&gname=mediawikidevelopers
So if you're listed as a MediaWiki developer at
http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=34373 or feel
that you've added significantly to the development of MediaWiki please
add yourself to the map, it's free & takes under a minute, it would be
interesting to see our distribution across the globe.
I'm sending this to wikitech-l and to everyone listed as a member of
the project at sourceforge (except Zwinger, since he's been .. uh..
dead for ~400 years), please don't kill me;)
