Max's idea is an improvement but still a lot of requests. We really need to
start generating these dumps :(.

Until the dumps are available, the fastest way to do it is probably Quarry (
http://quarry.wmflabs.org/) an open MySQL client to our public database
tables. So, you want the geo_tags table; getting all the coordinate sets on
the English-language Wikipedia would be something like:

SELECT * FROM enwiki_p.geo_tags;

This should be available for all of our production wikis (SHOW DATABASES is
your friend): you want [project]_p rather than [project]. Hope that helps!
