[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia with geo-browsing and AJAX

[Sören Auer]

Hi all,

we thought it could be useful to experiment a bit with new technologies 
(AJAX, knowledge extraction from WP etc.). Result is a user interface 
for Wikipedia, which is largely based on AJAX, thus enabling previews of 
images or referenced articles without reloading the current Wikipedia 
page. Its called Pediax and accessible at:

http://en.pediax.org

Pediax also allows geo-browsing, i.e. geo-referenced Wikipedia articles 
(currently over 50,000) are displayed on a map. It shows the 20 most 
popular places/articles in the currently selected map area. On moves or 
zooming of the map area the respective places/articles are updated (more 
views on the Wikipedia content are currently under development).
Currently, everything is still a bit beta ;-) The CSS and JS code might 
require some more tweaking. However, we are grateful for all hints, 
feedback and ideas.
