Re: [OSM-talk] Barrier to entry: to trace from imagery on Ubuntu
And lose your entire work every 20 minutes or so because of Flash breaking... Ok, this doesn't occur this often, but it does sometimes. Not Potlatch's fault, though.

Re: [OSM-talk] Will Google ever use OSM data?
Hmm, an update: some GSoC OSM projects [1] were already accepted.

[OSM-talk] Will Google ever use OSM data?
With OSM data getting more and more quality, I guess it will be a logical move to Google (and others) to use it for its needs (for example in cities where they have NOTHING mapped). Though, I've never seen anyone discuss that. Thinking about this, some questions arise. Will it ever happen? Will this be a good thing for people who use routing services? Will this be a good thing for OSM? All of that happening, will Google get more involved and help OSM (for example, with Google Summer of Code, etc)? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Google has dual carriage way where it's not built yet
I agree with you. Every single map of my city I've seen has some "planned roads" where in reality we have a forest or something else. These roads are in the "oficial map" of the city plan made by the authorities and are promptly copied to comercial maps. I think we should map only things that are clearly in the construction phase, and of course use a tag to indicate this.
