We can have it for states too. When search function implemented, this one and Quick link (presently on main page, having links to Ooty and Chennai) will become redundant. -- H.S.Rai ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

No.I guess fancy URLs will help web crawlers which can give us more visibility on search and give hits. I am working on the quick links page which will contain links to cities / states and places that are well mapped and might interest people. Ex:- Coimbatore Golf Course or Tirupati Hills. This can also be a place for visibility where other people in the community can know what has been mapped well. -- Regards Srikanth.L http://j.mp/SrikanthL ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

My current plan for quick links is to have major cities, all places mentioned at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India#Mapping_progress and other towns,All States at appropariate zoom level, universities(IITM, GNDEC,NITC, anymore?), Best of OSMI [any well mapped area which is left out above] Please do post it here if you can think of anything else. -- Regards Srikanth.L http://j.mp/SrikanthL ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
