Humanity is so curious. We make a mistake, we "receive" the consequences and we don't learn anything, and promote the same mistake.
OHM was a good project...but had a bad choice: data outside OSM. Then the project had slept...and the information is , nowadays...lost? Well, the project woke up...but now...where is the "old" information of the same project? Compare it with http://histosm.org . Why this map is more complete than the other? Because all the info is IN OSM. Ok , it would be one situation, is not the normality... Think about http://parking.openstreetmap.de ...oh, isn't working? Oh, Did we lose the information? Well, you can use http://bit.ly/parkingosm because the data was inside OSM so you can make another render to show the information. So I think the right place for information is OSM's database. Then who wants can use data to make a render of that data. History is real and specific in a lot of things. So these things that one day existed or had that property should be in OSM. How...I don't know the best way, but it is important to make the information accesible to everyone, and in a easy way without the risk of losing information.
