[FM Discuss] Internal web for small NGO and open source mapping

[Tomi Toivio]

Yeah, I noticed I kinda like forgot in the middle of the paragraph
that it was talking about documentation projects and not about Free
Software projects in general.

But actually this collaborative mapping platform question is not
off-topic, since we need it for our FLOSS in schools manual project.
We are trying to map the Finnish schools already using FLOSS for the
manual: http://osm.quelltextlich.at/viewer-js.html?kml_url=http://fi.flossmanuals.net/koulut.txt

And I have been looking for a light open source collaborative mapping
platform for a while now. This might be the most promising project:
