This sounds like a great project for individuals, classes and others to use to enhance skills and help make Wikipedia maps better. Details of who, what, when etc. are on the NACIS project page.This summer, we want your help in building maps for Wikipedia! Join mapmakers from around the planet for the first ever MapLift, organized by NACIS and the FixWikiMaps Project. From August 28th through September 4th, our collection of volunteers will be contributing their skills to upgrade existing Wikipedia maps and make new ones. It’s a great way to celebrate International Map Year!

Top Programming Languages
The IEEE Spectrum offers a list of the current top programing languages based on data from GitHub, CareerBuilder and eight other sources. Among the top ten are C (1st), Python (4th) and R (6th). There's also a Web app (99 cents) that will change the weightings and offer filters for specific uses/industries.
