Currently there are two kinds of pages on the Wiki; WikiProject pages (example: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_United_Kingdom">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_United_Kingdom
</a>) which relate to an area and track progress usually using a table or list of places. And place pages which are specific to a city/town/village and contain one or more rendered versions of that place (example: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Walton_on_Thames">
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Walton_on_Thames</a>).<br><br>There are some pages, such as <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Isle_of_Wight">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Isle_of_Wight</a>
which are a mixture of the two.<br><br>It seems like it might be time to start thinking about making a clearer demarkation between project pages and finished place pages. The place pages will ultimately form a gallery of rendered images of places of interest and would be the pages most likely viewed by a casual visitor to the site. The project pages would be the location of planning and progress tracking and be used mainly by participating users of OSM.
<br><br>Does anyone think this is a good idea, or have any better or alternative ideas? <br><br>Should we even be using the wiki as a gallery of places? When I posted the first osmarender images I did that mainly as examples, not really as a method of publishing them. I wasn't expecting the wiki to end up with a rendered image of every village on the planet. Right now, though, it is the only way that a casual visitor to the site will see anything that really shows off the results we've achived (and the wiki is a lot faster than the main site so the brosing experience is much better).
<br><br>What do people think?<br><br>Etienne<br><br>
