<div dir="ltr"><p>Hi all, Wikivoyage is a travel-based wiki, and was recently
incarnated as a Wikimedia project. In its previous history, there
weren't any solid attempts at introducing and integrating
OpenStreetMaps, but much progress has been made at <a href="http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Dynamic_maps_Expedition" target="_blank">http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyag … Expedition</a> and examples can be seen internally at <a href="http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wheaton" target="_blank">http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wheaton</a>, which relies on an external map server <a href="http://maps.wikivoyage-ev.org/w/poimap2.php?lat=52.02912&lon=10.60377&zoom=16&layer=O&lang=de&name=Hornburg" target="_blank">http://maps.wikivoyage-ev.org/w/poimap2 … e=Hornburg</a>.
I think we are pretty close to start site-wide implementation, but
before that, it looks like we need to sort out attribution and legal
issues.</p><p>I know Google Maps data is not accepted here, and we have
tried our best to steer users to use OSM data, but some are still more
comfortable using Google Maps "What's here" as a way to pinpoint
coordinates. From what I understand, that isn't kosher either - is this
correct?</p><p>We would definitely want to work more closely with OSM,
at both importing and exporting data. Plans have been discussed to batch
geocode points of interest from the OSM database and also for us to
send back new Wikivoyage POIs to OSM. Since coordinate data is still in
infancy, if OSM are unsure of Wikivoyage sources, it is still early
enough to remove such data and require stronger attribution in the
future, to make sure we follow licensing more closely. What would be the
suggested process here? </p><p>On a user basis, we could ask for a
source, but what would be the required attribution on a site basis, as
we'll be merging OSM geodata into our listings, but some will also be
non-OSM/personal geodata. Has enough information been added for a
Produced Work?</p></div>
