Combined with community-managed taxonomy, I can see this making it possible for us (Drupal users and people who care about open knowledge) to create our own definitive geographic listing.

Right now place module only understands points, but once I understand geo well enough to use that method of storing location information instead... I'm sure it too can be democratized to allow the feedback of millions of people to identify what's where.

I'm at latitude and longitude such and such, and I am inside Natick!

Agaric would host a server to aggregate the votes...

@TODO: First step is see what groups to partner with, oh and get my Drupal module working...
