[OSM-talk] GeoRSS, POI-searching, and local wiki articles

[Mikel Maron]

GeoRSS: loads, of all flavors. Nestoria, Planning Alerts, BBC Weather, FixMyStreet, Geograph, Flickr, Upcoming, OpenStreetMap edits and on and on...

It may be more a reflection on Mapufacture quirkiness that it's not so easy to find sources. We take that feedback to heart. Thanks

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
