Hi all glammers!


I have made a proposal in IdeaLab to create a Wikimaps user group.

Do you think that would be a good way for this community to go forward?

Wikimaps activities have been focusing on historical mapping, but the user
group would be made for all mapping related activities. The goal is that
people with many different ideas for using the geographic component in
their projects would come together, share their expertise and help each
other forward.

The user group would give the community an affiliate status within the
Wikimedia movement, while still keeping the group organic and without
organizational structures.

If you think you can endorse or join, please visit the page and leave your
mark!


Best,

Susanna ÅnÀs

Hi Ilario,

Thanks for your comment!

The conditions for a user group seem to be easily met in my mind. If there
are open questions, we should discuss them in the IdeaLab project before
submitting the application.

Cheers
Susanna
