Open source mapping project.

I see alot of posts relating to mapping locations of members, and other matters like the mashup that one sees in new FamilySearch, among other things.
Almost all of the solutions appear to use Google Maps. I've found a project that has been around for at least a couple of years that might be of use to those looking at mapping solutions for Church use.

They also run a wiki that may be of interest to some as well.

This was found while looking for something else while working on things related to FamilySearch Wiki, posted this there also because they were looking to find out why articles larger than 32k were causing error messages.
