Hi all wikimappers!
I have made a proposal in IdeaLab to create a Wikimaps user group.
Do you think that would be a good way for this community to go forward?
Wikimaps activities have been focusing on historical mapping, but the user
group would be made for all mapping related activities. The goal is that
people with many different ideas for using the geographic component in
their projects would come together, share their expertise and help each
other forward.
The user group would give the community an affiliate status within the
Wikimedia movement, while still keeping the group organic and without
organizational structures.
If you think you can endorse or join, please visit the page and leave your
mark!
Best,
Susanna Ånäs

ps Let's get the list administration in shape, so that there will be a
notification if the message does not go through.
