The OpenStreetMap Wiki is this website you are looking at right now. A place for help documentation, technical documentation and promotional material on everything related to the OpenStreetMap project.

See...


Note: When people refer to 'the website' they might be talking about the wiki, or they might be talking about the web front end that we have developed for displaying the map and various other pages for user management/GPX upload etc. That runs as a very separate system in fact (written in Rails)

Technical Wiki Details

Worrying too much about the technical details of how the wiki is working, could be a distraction from more core development tasks, however it is important that the mappers and developers have tools to communicate well together.

The wiki is powered by MediaWiki (http://mediawiki.org). See the "Special:Version" page for an up-to-date view of which version we are running, and what extensions are installed.

Ideas for technical improvements

If you have ideas for the wiki, you can generally just do them, by editing the wiki! Big restructuring can be discussed in relation to WikiProject Cleanup, but in general we would encourage you to "be bold"

...but if you have ideas for technical improvements to the way the wiki works, e.g. extensions we should install, please take these to the discussion page here, and/or raise tickets in trac. Trac tickets should raised as 'component=wiki' (As we have a separate component for 'wiki' tickets).

As always, please do a few searches to see if anyone has already suggested the same thing (including a mailing list google to allow you to link related discussions)

Ongoing

Single sign on between wiki and the OSM front end, is an obvious suggestion which has been made and discussed repeatedly
