OSGeo Mashup
Thoughts on how to set up a membership activity and user location OSGeo mashup.
 * a script has subscribes to the OSGeo Wiki RSS
 * extract editor's Wiki user name and client IP from RSS feed
 * look up that IP's latitude and longitude
 * MediaWiki user name page includes a template with formatted home location in latitude and longitude (KML, GeoRSS, GML, any)
 * bot writes back location and User Name to PostgreSQL PostGIS database
 * MapServer connects to that PostGIS FeatureTable and display map with point and text as OGC WMS
 * GeoServer connects to that same PostGIS FeatureTable and returns GML via OGC WFS-T interface
 * Mapbender deploys OpenLayers to overlay OSM map with OSGeo Member map
 * and so on
