= /dev/map =
 
 * Enable our wiki to process and view geo information
 * Create a re-useable plattform for use in other projects

== Suggested Platform ==

=== Openlayers ===
 * [[http://www.openlayers.org/|openlayers]] provides an easy to use and very flexible platform to show and explore data on a map

=== MapProxy ===
 * [[http://mapproxy.org/|MapProxy]] is a flexible backend.
 * It can be used as a simple tile cache for [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/|OpenStreetmap]] but easly extended to include other data sources
 or to convert into an other data format

=== Moin ===
 * Since it is the primary data storage it makes sense to extend it to contain and serve geo information
 * There is allready a simple moin macro [[http://moinmo.in/MacroMarket/OpenStreetMap|OpenStreetMap]] to include an openlayer map in moin and
 show additional data points
 * We want more: something like "show a map with all geo-tagged pages in category foo linking these" or "get me a map with thumnails of all geo
 tagged pictures attached to page bar"
