They were doing good work even before corine import, Sarajevo is an example.

Re: [OSM-talk] Updating www.bestofosm.org
Frederik We could give examples of the reactivity of the OSM community with "spontaneous mapping" in blank zones areas done with the HOT Task Manager. For example, thousands of refugees arrived in the last two weeks in Minova and Bweremana in South-Kivu. Following a request to map the area, the OSM contributors mapped this area from saturday to now. From an almost blank map, we already have a detailed map wich is of great help to humanitarian organizations planning their action in the area. To compare the Before and After map, just look at the standard layer (ie. After) with the Mapquest Open layer which is not yet updated with recen OSM data.

Here is my suggestion: City of Sinj and Region of Cetinska krajina http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=43.7058&lon=16.6355&zoom=14&layers=M Almost all mapped by one person, over the age of 55.

Hi, most of you will know www.bestofosm.org - essentially a simple OpenLayers page with a couple KML layers with markers (and preview images) for locations that are "special" in OSM. The location list hasn't been updated since the license change and we're planning to do a major update, together with a new poster print (latest one proudly boasts "2010 version" http://bestofosm.org/poster/). Do you know any places that should be featured on bestofosm.org? We're looking for things that * are mapped to an exceptional standard (where "exceptional" is relative to the surroundings - something that is normal for OSM in Europe might be exceptional for OSM in China). and/or * have a nice story (e.g. a village might only look 'average' on the map but have been mapped completely in one day by the local primary school) and/or * have relevance for OSM as a project (e.g. we'll add all locations of past SOTMs but things like "the first mapping party in Africa" or so would be great too) and/or * are exceptional in some other respect The site isn't intended to be a catalogue, but more of a showcase. That's why we absolutely need a "story paragraph" for each item that should ideally go beyound "this place also looks nice" - these story paragraphs will also go on the poster. We're also after a good planet coverage - currently, the non-coastal US, Australia, and Canada are completely devoid of entries.
