Another great open source project and an opportunity to contribute to encyclopedia of web-Wikipedia.
What is HATNOTE?
HATNOTE is an open source projects created by wikipedia to create a map of recent changes added /created on wikipedia by unregistered users and the article they edit.
In other words whenever an article is created/edited , changes are shown on the map and you get to know the approximate location of the user.
A snapshot of map look likes this :-
If you look carefully you will see 228 edits being made in just 34 seconds
How It Works ?
This map listens to live feeds of Wikipedia revisions, broadcast using wikimon. The map is built using a few nice libraries and services, including d3, DataMaps, and freegeoip.net. This project was inspired by WikipediaVision’s (almost) real-time edit visualization
