MakeUseOf: My USB drive carries Wikipedia and a library that doesn’t need Wi-Fi. “I’ve used flash drives for years as glorified pockets for files I’ll probably forget about.

Local Wikipedia is an interesting concept to filter Wikipedia content around a specific place.

There is also a complementary approach used by some OpenStreetMap clients to provide Wikipedia links to nearby points of interest.

Two of the best early Web projects complementing and enriching each other.

Une expérience intéressante de déclinaison locale de Wikipedia. Ca marche essentiellement parce que les articles de la wikipedia sont géolocalisés. https://edjefferson.com/localwiki/ #wikipedia #interface #location

La Wikipedia locale è #Wikipedia, ma solo per i luoghi raggiungibili a piedi in mezz'ora.

I contenuti locali provengono direttamente da Wikipedia, incluse le pagine geocodificate.

Se nelle tue vicinanze ci sono meno di 25 oggetti, verranno presi in considerazione i 25 più vicini entro un raggio di circa 6 miglia. Se gli oggetti sono più di 500, verranno inclusi solo i 500 più vicini.

Spoke to the staff today about cursed maps - they had been generated in a rush using #Copilot as office was busy due to holidays and fewer staff to answer phones.

Person who generated them realised how bad they were, to the point they were causing her confusion (two important regions were reversed 180° !)

I managed to edit #Wikipedia #SVG of postcode areas using #Inkscape (to remove Norfolk, Cambs and Essex + places we don't operate in) and added some placenames to get an accurate #map below which everyone is happy with - if things are quieter later today might see if we can salvage the pretty graphics for the rest of the poster (it was intended to be both a map and a motivational poster) from the Copilot prompt (assuming it even exports them correctly as SVG)
