Hello, fellow mappers!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful day. We are pleased to announce that we’ve begun creating a series of OGF-specific tags that can be placed on your country’s territory relations as a way to help with our world-building. A complete list of tags can be seen here, on the wiki.

Some of the highlights are the ability to declare driving side, economic policy, elements of infrastructure like electricity and standard rail gauge, time zones, and more. Elements of governance, history, and language are all being developed also.

The tags you place on your territory relation help populate maps on the wiki, to share what your territory is like with neighbors and friends. We hope that this helps with collaboration and better understanding of what each territory is like. We encourage everyone to take a few minutes and add what you can to your territory relation!

If you are a member of Ardencia, Deodeca, FSA, or Suria, we are working on subnational tagging, also. More on that at a later date.

Please do remember that all tags marked is_in:continent, ogf:area, and ogf:id, must not be removed. Also, these are OGF-specific tags and are not designed to be used on other mapping projects. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Happy mapping! Saħħa!

Hello, everyone.

I hope you’re having a wonderful day. More and more work on the wiki is continuing, and we’re hoping for a full launch in the first half of October. There are still a few bugs to iron out, and we’re gradually getting things set up.

If you are a coordinator of an official collaborative, we need your help! All existing collaboration pages have been brought over, but not every collab has a page. If you are a coordinator, please take a look to see if your territory has a page. If not, we need you to create the page! Every collaborative project must have a page that lists the pertinent information (see below).

What if your collab has a page already? Even if your collab does, please take a close look at it and make sure it contains all of the following material clearly indicated at the header:

• Where the project is
• Who is coordinating the project
• What the project is inspired by and the primary language(s) of mapping
• How to join the project
• A list of current /active/ members (previously active members should be indicated)

If you are a collab coordinator, please send me a message to get wiki access. Thank you very much, everyone. Happy mapping! ~A
