- Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)
ShareMap.org is a social tool that allows to user to create maps on free licenses. Like Wikimedia projects ShareMap is collaborative tools - so anyone even without registration can modify map and add some features and fix some errors. ShareMap in active from more than 3 years and more than hundred maps was created using it - you can find list of maps here . The goal of this project is not to have more features than professional GIS tools- it is intended to be more accessible for less experienced users. More information about project and its relations with Wikipedia can be found here (project was not finally awarded with grant because too wide scope but it collected great endorsement). Please also visit project commons page or portal itself.
