I asked Brion on the Paris meeting and he said he'd have a look. But,
I didn't hear anything back, so I assume he didn't.

wikimedia.org doesn't list an official CTO, so for the time being, I
guess Tim Starling is the person to ask.

Last time I had a long look at the code, the extension part seemed to
be in good condition. One half is using it as a special page (just a
wrapper around the current code calls), and getting the wiki template
from the cache instead of the http rendering.

Compatability might have deteriorated since then, though.

I'm still travelling, and probably won't have both access and time to
work on it until end of next week.

I guess the way to go is to get
http://toolserver.org/~geohack/
operational as a stop-gap until someone finally gets around to sign
off the extension and install it on the live site.

It seems to work /almost/ correctly. Maybe not all settings were migrated:
http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Berlin&params=52_30_2_N_13_23_56_E_

Cheers,
Magnus
