LocalWiki, a really easy to use geographically-based wiki, released

From a quick look over the documentation I could see this is built with postgres and python/django, but I didn't notice which versions (nor a roadmap to see if there would be a future transition to python3). Is there any chance you could clarify?
Also, considering its geographic focus, maps seem to be an important part, but I didn't notice any maps in the Davis install. Is there already, or planned, integration with Open Street Maps? From a quick search I found there is a django module for OSM[1], so I was just curious what the plans are in that regard.
The DavisWiki is running our old software, not LocalWiki. We'll transition it over soon. The Denton site is a good example of what LocalWiki looks like: https://dentonwiki.org
We're using OSM base data for the map tiles (rendered via cloudmade). We'll likely do our own map tile rendering soon, probably running an open tile server for any localwiki install to point at. Not sure about further OSM integration - got any ideas?
My site, www.lokusapp.com is a similar project, with more integration with social features among other differences. It's still in beta stages, but any input would be appreciated.
I'd also consider putting the "find a community" stuff at the top too, since that's probably the first thing you'd want people to look at (and they can install the software if they don't find one).
