[Mediawiki-l] yet another google maps extension

[Evan Miller]

Thanks for the feedback and bug reports, for those who sent them. If  
you had trouble getting this maps extension (or even the example) to  
work before, I encourage you to try out the new version: http:// 
meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Emiller/GoogleMapsExtension

This version has been tested with pretty much every Google Maps- 
capable browser, and it offers the sysadmin the ability to define  
default map parameters for the local wiki. Let me know if you like it!
