Thanks Tim, I'm a bit aware of the new display possibilities. But I'm looking for *cloud mapmaking* (editing) for encyclopedic maps such the Roman empire in 120 CE, the Tang dynasty ca 700, etc. Is there around a such project/system/website where I —as a graphist— can create and edit historical maps, adding specific shapes, coloring them, becoming an online-cloud map that can then be displayed in Wikipedia the same way as WikiMiniAtlas. Is there a cloud mapmaking tool for wikipedia ? -- Yug
