[Maps-l] Wikimaps

[Tim Alder]

Hello,
an old version of this idea can be found there:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Geocoding/Overlay
It shows Commons-maps on Google-earth.

Ok, it has no gui-editor, only a very simple transformation 
(scale+rotate) and depends on property software from google, but it 
shows a way how to store the rectify-meta-data in commons.

The new software should be able to show more than one map at on moment, 
so that the user can compare it.

Greetings Kolossos

P.S.: The project name Wikimaps is very generic, so e.g. our map with 
Wikipedia-POIs on OSM or the maps-mediawiki-extension could also get 
this name. Perhaps you should add some words like recti, commons, histo, 
old....
