Hi,
During Cascadoss events, Markus and I, we discussed that it could be
interesting to build a map of all OSGeo Members [1], events and other
geographically referenced content of our Wiki.
There is number of geo-plugins available for

I think this sounds like a great idea, but it would be especially cool if we
could somehow scrape Category:OSGeo_Member entries and create a feed

actually make use of some of our software like OpenLayers to display the

This is a very good point.
OpenLayers is a nice candidate for this I think.
Next, I have to figure out how to georeference MediaWiki

Have you had a look at how many of those entries have actual
coordinate, or even province/country entries? I think missing data
is going to be your bigger challenge.
If we had a membership sign up form that also allows users to enter

to implement the OSGeoMember Mashup [2] .
I have chosen to implemented an MediaWiki Extension called
UserLocalization [3].
It can show maps of the WikiMembers which included a tag on their
How is it going on your project, what is the status? Your efforts
sound really interesting and could be broadly useful - so I hope you
can finish it.
I'm not convinced that geocoding IPs is going to be as useful for
OSGeo though - I think that many members will never use the wiki.
There is number of geo-plugins available for MediaWiki, so it's easy to
get lost. I found Google Map Extension [2] for MediaWiki that looks
interesting.
I'd like to hear opinions about such map and recommendations of map
extensions for MediaWiki, that we could use for that purpose.

A thought . . .
How about just doing something based on page access and downloading. Don't
need to get into the details of exactly who looked at what, but you could
generate some interesting map based reports of who is looking and downloading
what. Just plot the geocoded points to a file
