It's the amount of admin required and finding someone that has the time to spend creating, maintaining the logos (and presumably getting permission to use them) and to create the rules. Also, the icons need to be of a certain quality (for mapnik certainly). As a one off it is trivial but... > The other question is where do we stop? It's certainly a whole can of worms and once the first one is on the map it will be hard to stop it snowballing. My feeling is that someone keen should investigate this on this own map server before attempting anything like this on the official mapnik layer. But starting the process of collecting logos and permissions is definitely a good thing. -- Brian _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
