Afternoon,
Harry how did the lightning talk go? Well I hope! Still keen to see some
of this written up and on the WMUK blog - I'm happy to help with writing it
up if you like?
Also Fae's post reminds me I need to see what capacity OSM has to tag
postboxes :D

Hi Harry,
If you are still thinking about it, it would be neat to cover any
experiences you have had in use of the projects for mapping,
successful or not. I play around with OSM, and have remained impressed
at how nicely the editing tools work there. At the 'meta' level we
have a big gap between the idea of navigating or discovering by place
and what Commons/Wikidata/Wikipedia can provide using integrated
methods.
Three to four years ago the UK chapter was encouraging projects around
geomapping, but the only place I have noticed innovation recently was
last year by Commons enthusiasts on better tools for individual maps;
though there's been a lot of discussion (and investment) within
Wikidata I have not followed.
Thanks,
Fae

There isn't even an *un*written version yet.
It's been a long time
since I
stood up and spoke to a room full of Wikimedians.
Also, I didn't think
anyone else would be interested! Something to occupy me on the journey
tomorrow! ;)
