70+ active members of the both projects (OSM and PocketGis) simultaneously

When executing this raw SQL query:
select st_X(way), st_Y(way), name from planet_osm_point where capital='yes';
Then i get some data like:
st_x| st_y

Hello,
Let me followup on this topic. I am Russian citizen and I didn't

it ourselves.
I second all the information that Komяpa provided.
Also, all the arguments that were provided to Kirill by Frederik, John,
