Well öpnvkarte was considered along with the current transport layer and
the decision was that having two transport layers would be silly and that
we preferred the one that we are currently offering.

So I don't know if that will be good enough for most people (outside
the US).
Fair enough.
Truth be told, I had originally wondered if Jason's resources would be best
used by acting as a cache on the existing GeoDNS network rather than
hosting any new tiles.

Hi Tom,
Yes, I know about the process. It is good that it is setup :-)
It seems like the technical aspects are addressed by hosting them on
the us OSM servers. The soft / arbitrary criteria are judgment
questions about where the OSM community is at.

I don't think you will have much success with the licensing here. Aerial
imagery rights go for muchos $$$.

Hello Everybody,
I wanted to confirm the major reason we only have 4 layers on osm.org,
is a resourcing issue, rather than a political issue. Basically, we do

I have been working on an indoor editor for OSM. Using a new
indoor-specific editor or not, it is easy to add indoor map data to
OSM. But doing this places a lot of data in the database that appears
very ugly and very difficult to work with for a person not well versed
in indoor maps in osm.

Resources invested in hosting various useful tile layers and tools would
only help in getting more people to switch to openstreetmaps and support
the project.
Why can't we have a larger donation drive and support such services which
are central to the project and helps its growth?
