GISWiki
GISWiki is a wiki founded in February 2003 that deals exclusively with the subject of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Contributions under the GNU Free Documentation License are written by volunteer authors. MediaWiki is used as wiki software . The wiki contains around 1,200 articles.
In addition to the German-language GISWiki, there was also an English-language edition from 2006 to 2011. It was a non-commercial, zero budget project. The project was financed mainly with private funds and z. T. with advertising.
In addition, the OpenGeoDB Wiki was hosted on the GISWiki infrastructure until the beginning of 2012 . The focus of the OpenGeoDB project is on building a database that is as complete as possible with geographic coordinates for all places and postcodes for Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein.
The GISWiki also operated a news portal (GIS-News) and offers tools for georeferencing projects within Wikipedia.
