[Foundation-l] Virtual Tour proposed project, "Wikitour"

[Brian]

I've started a proposal page for a project called "Wikitour" that would lend
itself directly to Wikipedia. Whereas Commons hosts individual images of
places that have articles on Wikipedia, Wikitour would host "virtual tours"
of these places, such as castles, museums, galleries, caverns, mountains,
college campuses, typical mosques or churches, archaeological sites, etc.
The main point is to provide visual detail to accompany the other projects'
textual detail.

The basic idea is as follows: a user submits numerous photos of a notable
place, which are organized into pages/subpages to create a navigable
environment similar to that in Myst, Riven, or other graphical adventures;
the navigation system would be on Wikitour, while the files themselves would
be on Commons, with a link in the respective article on WP. Basically, any
topic that has an article on Wikipedia has the possibility of its own entry
in Wikitour. Users could also submit photos of an object from various
sides/angles/distances, rather than a place.

Please leave your impressions/suggestions at [[meta:Talk:Wikitour]].

Thanks.
