As unlikely as it is that this will actually happen yes, this would be a very good idea. As Frederik has said there were projects competing with OSM following a more centralized, more heavy handed approach - but most of them vanished. Having an alternative where those who are not satisfied with the laissez-faire approach of OSM can find a place would be very healthy - even if, especially if this turns into a serious competition. In a way the worst thing that could happen to OSM in the long term is that it becomes 'alternativlos' to both data users and contributors. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
