Maybe something simple as WikiProject:FLOSS ? [[WikiProject]] redirects to [[Mapping_projects]] In the introduction it says: "The projects are collaborative efforts by one or more people who have a common interests or goals." So the common interest would be 'FLOSS' and the goal 'Free [as in freedom] geodata' That project doesn't have to "change all content in the wiki", so sites that promote openstreetmap also from a software freedom point of view like fsf.org could link directly to [[WikiProject_FLOSS]]. Direct link http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_FLOSS For the moment it is an empty page, but it could link to software that people can use in freedom to contribute free geodata.
