Hallo Jakob,
ist immer wieder erfrischend deine so objektive Kritik zu lesen. ;-)
Anbei schicke ich (dir)eine eMail aus der tech-Liste. Aus ihr kannst du
ersehen, dass der Softwareteil IMHO bereits (weit) fortgeschritten ist. Es
tut sich also was.

Finde ich auch. IMHO nicht nur etwas.

HIER FOLGT NUN DIE EMAIL VON MAGNUS:

FYI, I have just commited a preliminary version of a GEO mode (location
management, if you will) to CVS HEAD. You will have to set
"$wgUseGeoMode = true ;" in LocalSettings for that to work.

Currently, it does not do *that* much: It uses the ISBN mechanism, but
with the GEO keyword, like "GEO 1.22.33:-4.55.66". This is converted to
a link to a "SpecialGeo" page, which currently only shows a link to the
according MapQuest page.

As a special option, I hard-coded a regular expression
search-and-replace that will work on the RamBot articles (like
"38&deg;30'10" North, 90&deg;38'42" West"); coordinates on these pages
will thus be linked likewise.

At the moment, it does *not* store the coordinates/article data pair in
a special database table, which will be required for "real" functions,
like "what's near this location". I might implement that later, unless
someone beats me to it (hint! :-)
