Hi Everyone! My name is Susanna Ånäs and I am active in the Finnish Wikimedia. We have a cooperation project going with the Finnish National Archives with their historical maps and this has given us the opportunity to look anew at the Wikimaps environment. http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Wikipedia:Wikiprojekti_** Historialliset_kartat/In_**english<http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi… Wikimaps was introduced as a concept by Maarten Dammers http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/User:Multichill/Wikimaps<http://comm…ps>. The idea is to combine environments in Wikimedia to form a maps environment for scanned (historical) maps. I introduced the idea at GLAM-Wiki in London and I have my presentation slides on Sideshare at http://www.slideshare.net/**susannaanas/glam-wiki-wikimaps<http://www.sl… **. A test environment is planned to be put up for testing for the Amsterdam Hackathon, more info to follow. Let's put up a Wikimaps page in http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Commons:Wikimaps<http://commons.wiki… gather material there (Feel free to start, I have not yet had the time :) Please let's discuss the project on this list! Nice to know all of you!
