We could always deliberately delete some of the street layout and names in order to motivate people to get out and map. Personally, I would feel it greatly demotivating to feel I was spending my mapping time surveying something that could equally well have been added by using the taxpayer-funded and mostly high-quality OS data. However, adding buildings from OS will provide an excellent newbie task: finding name, address, and amenity for each building. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
