Welcome
Hello. For now this is a wiki to discuss free geographical information available online. I'd like to eventually start a wiki to actually create and distribute free geographical information, but not yet.

- http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/ - text only, but very well presented information - a free version of this would be a great start (then worry about maps later)
Stuff you can do
- To increase the amount of space we have for uploads, add links to http://editthis.info from external sites, and go to the Link Quota Page to increase your uploads quota.

- Add the url for this wiki to the Categorized wiki list. Simply edit that page and put this wiki under the appropriate category.
- Add this wiki to the map of wikis
- Add a message to the Feedback Page if you see anything that could be improved.
Stuff I have to do
- On this page: image_logo_url put just the url for the logo that you want in the upper left corner of your wiki.
