Help!
I am incredibly lost. I want to help and I'm really a great cartographer. I work in Illustrator, as has been the industry standard for 20-odd years. I also do GIS. And sure, Illustrator exports into SVG; I'm sure I'll figure out the details later on my own.

But I find so much of Wikipedia so disorganized (try to find other examples of maps easily!) and there's no logical place to ask questions of other people who help out around here.

I'd really like to help and to contribute my expertise to something that I believe in, but I need a little bit of hand holding to find my around for the first week or so. Where do I post such requests?

Thanks!

 * Welcome~
 * You noticed that you are a confirmed cartographer, with a long experience, using GIS too.
 * If so, please see :
 * Graphic Lab/Map workshop - where our users (mainly skilled amators) make maps,
 * User:Sting-fr : User:Sting (Gallery on his upload on "Commons" + talk page on Commons)]] - the skillest map maker of us, used to GIS.
 * I guess Sting may be interesting to learn some more professional skills, or easier ways to works. A collaboration Sting-Yourself may be interesting ;).
 * A first step would be for you to upload one of your work on commons :
 * Create an account on Commons (here)
 * Upload one of your maps (here).
 * This will allow Sting to understand your level ;)
 * "Commons" is a short term for the wikipedia's images/files store website, that's where we upload our works (maps), and keep them.
 * Wikipedia is a complex website and long project, we have time. Start with those some few pages. I myself contact Sting, who may help you to start.
 * Good luck to you. Yug (talk)  16:59, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
