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
