Re: [OSM-talk] We need a name!
Yeah, I've been thinking OHM Buildings, but there's an ownership issue with that. At the moment we are branding it as " an OpenHistoricalMap project". However there is a lot of close work going on between the OHM and Wikimaps communities at the moment with many folks looking for much tighter integration. So then it becomes " an OpenHistoricalMap and Wikimaps project". I personally would have loved to see much more integration between OSM and OHM. Over the next decade I'm sure more people will realise this when the city landscape changes and they see themselves removing old buildings from OSM. I'd also like to see more cooperation between Wikimaps (which is part of Wikimedia) and OSM. So then the name becomes " an OpenHistoricalMap, OpenStreetMap and Wikimaps (Wikimedia) project"!! So really, the name shouldn't refer to any of these 3 projects, that way we don't need to change the name as things evolve. :-) Rob On 19 June 2014 23:13, Clifford Snow wrote: > Open Historical Map which already has a website www.openhistoricalmap.org > > > On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 1:04 PM, Rob Nickerson > wrote: > >> A few OSM members interested in historic maps are working on our own >> version of the New York Public Library "Building Inspector".

Re: [OSM-talk] We need a name!
I've had a couple of responses off list. These are: * Constructing the past * something with "crowd" in it? Thanks, for these good ideas. Any more suggestions?

[OSM-talk] We need a name!
A few OSM members interested in historic maps are working on our own version of the New York Public Library "Building Inspector". If you've not yet tried it out, go take a look - it's a great site: http://buildinginspector.nypl.org/ So, the core function they are asking contributors to do is to check (inspect) and fix the rough building outlines produced by the computer script. Our version will be the same but will cover any city and any library we can get good maps for. But we need a name. Current names suggested are: - Historic Map Marker - Old Map Marker - OHM Buildings - Historic Map Inspector - Building Surveyor - Historic Building Constructor - Historic Building Fixer - Ghost Mapper - Ghost Building Mapper - Ghost Brick - Ghost Bricks and Mortar - Houses and History - Historic Map Booth - Old Building Kiosk - Historic Building Outliner We're after your thoughts - which name works best? Is there some amazing name we haven't thought of yet? Best, Rob (RobJN) p.s. You're more than welcome to help in other ways.
