As you can imagine, serving maps in Wikipedia articles is a massive undertaking, both interms of volume and the complexity and variety of the use-cases.Those maps use OSM data.
Mateus Santos, a software engineer with the Wikimedia Tech Team gave a talk yesterday, "Understanding Wikimedia Maps and its challenges" on how maps work in Wikipedia, and in other MediaWiki projects. It is now available as a 40 minute video (including ten minutes of questions) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LH-pYdi9Ks -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
