Using the wiki as the primary data source is a great idea. I'm curious to know how you're converting the data. Oren Salomon and I have been talking quite a bit about the Open Coworking Map idea I was pushing a year ago as part of the Coworking Wiki Project. We didn't' raise enough money to do the project then but I've continued to see a lot of interest in this area. Perhaps we should combine efforts.
The idea behind the OCM is to facilitate spaces to put meta-data on their websites and aggregate all of it into a central, open repository (GitHub actually). This would mean that when spaces close the data would be removed automatically. No one ever remembers to take down their listing when they close their doors. Go figure.
