Wikipedia:WikiProject community rehabilitation/WikipediaRadio

I see Google just stole part of my idea ... I guess I'll let them get away with it, this time :) Now, Google maps has "Places" in the sidebar, which is actually a list of Wikipedia articles. That's what I'd like to see more of, articles with coords that automatically pop up in Google Maps. The other thing I think would be great, and easy to do the software I expect, would be a "Wikipedia Radio" channel, meaning the output from any GPS-enabled device with a web browser or audible screen reader (which would work even better on those articles where someone has made an audio recording of the text). The idea is that you'd tell it to read you the article with the coords closest to where you are at the moment, and if you're bored with what you get, you could move on to the article with the next-closest coords, etc. It probably wouldn't be hard to write software to allow you to include or exclude articles categories as desired. - Dank (push to talk) 02:37, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting idea (this would definitely make alt text more useful). –Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:43, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
