hi, beginning with release 1.9 mediawiki can have image maps. we also had it as suggestion for the 150 jahre volkschule project (scholars at the age of 12-14) - but it seems quite challenging - without tools :)
see here for details: * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Navigational_maps * http://tools.wikimedia.de/~dapete/ImageMapEdit/ImageMapEdit.html?en creating/coloring maps is usually the biggest work. anybody knows good tools or good keywords for a websearch to find tools which facilitate drawing/coloring images like http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Gemeindeartikel-ch_060208.png? i found: * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphics_tutorials * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Vector_graphics_editors * http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2005/06/10/osgeospatial.html a second question: what is the best/preferred format to store the result? is it svg? rupert.
