People can share the maps easily with their own changes being made. But how many? Let us prioritize the tasks. I'm right away adding it to the ideas page.

I could think of some public platform like github, where one can draw points on to the map and another one lines and a third person can then aggregate the feeds of those two maps into their own map, linking to the original sources and receiving updates from them.

Re: [OSM-dev] GSoC 2010. OpenStreetMap Mashup Generator Project
Sajjad, This sounds like an interesting idea - effectively an extension to embedding a simple OSM map on a web page to include data from another source. While I think this is possible with existing javascript libraries such as OpenLayers, I think the main aim of this project is to make that easy for a more casual user, who does not speak much JavaScript. It think this would be a useful contribution. It is also very nice to see suggestions coming from prospective students, thank you! Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? Thanks Graham.

[OSM-dev] GSoC 2010. OpenStreetMap Mashup Generator Project
Hi, I have put forward an idea into the GSoC 2010 wiki page. The link is here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2010#OpenStreetMap_Mashup_generator It is basically to create an easy to use mashup generator based on OpenLayers API, to enable people to use OpenStreetMap data in various ways including presenting on a web page and taking print outs. I would personally love to take this project forward, if everyone thinks this is worth developing and feasible. Waiting for comments and suggestions.
