[OSM-talk] Maps and Semantic Maps

[jeroen De Dauw]

Hey,

I'm one of this years GSoC students for Wikimedia Foundation, and have created 2 new mapping extensions for MediaWiki: Maps [0, 1] and Semantic Maps [2, 3].

These extensions have a setup that allows the adding of multiple new mapping services by simply hooking into it. They currently have support for Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, and most relevant here, OpenLayers. When using the OL service, you can specify the base layers, including the OSM ones.

Maps and Semantic Maps are not related to SlippyMap [4], and have a different set of features. 

Suggestions on how to improve the handling of OSM in Maps are welcome. Also feel free to make your own contributions.
