Re: [OSM-talk] Project of the week: Stationery
I think this could even be extended to newsagencies too? Most newsagencies in Australia are often dominated by stationary supplies.

Re: [OSM-talk] Project of the Week
I'm kind of new here so I wasn't around for Haiti. Is there a general here is how to help map disaster areas page on the wiki? I would be willing to help out but the mapping I have done so far here in the US is a little different thanks to TIGER data that at least gives you a point to start from. It would be helpful to give some guidance on how to go about mapping a blank area that you have no personal knowledge of. And of course a link to that from the project-of-the-week page wouldn't hurt either. This is a good start although some of it is Haiti specific: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/HOT_Package Seems like something HOT would want to put together. Or have they already and my searches just aren't finding it?

Why not suggest Olympic locations as next week's topic? Denver sounds like a great idea; I've never been, but I'll trace some houses if it helps someone out. If I'm lucky, someone might help me out with a part of the world I'm interested in at a later date. And lets go out there and keep making the best map of the World we can.

I don't think we need to have a real need for specific data in order to add something on the map.
