Re: [Talk-GB] Summer quarterly project

I share the concern that mapping parties create unmaintained data in the same way as imports or armchair mapping. However, the argument only goes so far: much of our original data was boot-strapped by such methods (notably NPE map & later OS StreetView). For places in the North West of England on-t
