Just looking at some GeoRSS stuff in pyroute:

[it should use OSM data [1] to find local wikipedia articles, rather than 
geonames]

The question is: does anyone know geoRSS feeds which are actually interesting?   

I've been looking at various aggregators [2], but it doesn't look like people 
are actually making much use of geoRSS* yet.  It's a bit of an embarassing 
demo when the only London geonewsfeed I can find is Westminster council's 
list of broken streetlights...

Regards,

OJW


p.s. is anyone looking at ways to export OSM "wikipedia=" tags to geonames?

[*] I'm including RSS/Atom feeds with all sorts of 
weird "pos", "point", "geo:lat" and other fields in them, even if it's not 
technically geoRSS
