Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Wikipedia Maps for GeoHack

Konstantinos, it is capable of big loads, but simply needs more servers for
full Wikipedia support. Also, for direct on-page use, e.g. infoboxes, I am
writing an extension -- Kartographer
, that should be
available shortly.

You can see the demo here .  Other
demos: 2 , 3
.  Feel free to play with it.

Once that is done, we will launch it on WikiVoyage first, and later,
hopefully, on all Wikipedias.

​Is it capable for serving a big load, by embedding it in infoboxes? Can we
start trying it in (relatively) small wikipedias?
