[HacktionLab] late homework - anyone speak Mediawiki?

Hey all,

So...

With 24 hours to go, I have half a proof-of-concept directory website :-)

http://humerus.tachanka.org/w/index.php/Main_Page


As described there, I can't work out what the missing glue is to make 
organisations appear on the map automatically.

I think I'm storing coordinates properly because I'm able to generate a 
table of organisations and coordinates automatically, however when I 
replace "table" with "map" I just get a blank map.

The documentation suggests debugging by doing this i.e. seeing if a 
table is generated rather than a map, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Anyway, just in case anyone here happens to understand mediawiki syntax 
better than I do, I'm fairly sure it's just a 1 minute fix, like "aha 
you need another sixteen squirly brackets in your template". Any 
thoughts welcome!

If not then I can probably just botch together a hard-coded set of 
coordinates separately to the organisation data.

cheers,
Tom.
