I agree with both of these.  We seem to be wasting a lot of effort at
the moment building duplicate infrastructure for something for  which
we have no content!  If and when the time comes that we're ready to
branch off further we can.

Yes, I think it would be best to have it on the wiki.  *But*, can
anyone (Matt East/Jonathan Riddell perhaps?) give us a definative
answer about if there's any way to get javascript into a wiki page?
As I've said before I think it would be most appropriate for us to use
Google Maps (see my justification at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2006-June/000457.html).
Even non-Google maps will need some sort of html/script, won't they?
